Château de Cary Potet is located in Buxy in the Côte Chalonnaise, about 40 minutes south of Beaune. The château is one of the oldest in the Chalonnaise, having owned by the Du Besset family since the 15th century. In the 1970's, the Desfontaine family purchased the château and it has been in their hands ever since. The geneological records of the family show that the Desfontaine's have been winegrowers for 12 generations, since 1592! Today, brothers Xavier and Arnaud run the estate with their mother, Véronique, where they make extraordinary Chardonnay from Montagny and exceptional Pinot Noir from Mercurey. Together, Véronique and her boys epitomize the tradition, quality and family-focus that is abundant in the Chalonnaise.
Montagny is a white wine appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise that produces some of the best Chardonnay wines in all of the region, especially for every day drinking. This Chardonnay from Château de Cary Potet is an excellent example of what the wines achieve in terms of quality and value. The Château de Cary Potet Les Bassets pours a light straw in the glass with brilliant gold highlights. On the nose, aromas of white peach, apricot and a saline mineral note plume form the glass. On the palate, the wine is textured and broad with a concentration of ripe stone fruit flavors and chalky mineral complexity. The finish is subtle and refined. Enjoy with seared scallops, ginger-lime black cod, or herb-marinated chicken.
