domaine Lorenzon

Domaine Bruno Lorenzon is a wine producer based in Montagny, a Chardonnay-only appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise, the southern stretch of Burgundy's main winegrowing corridor. Montagny sits between the better-known Mercurey to the north and Mâconnais to the south, producing exclusively white wines from Chardonnay across a patchwork of villages and classified premier cru sites.

Montagny is notable for having an unusually high proportion of premier cru-classified vineyards relative to its overall size, a legacy of a broad historical delimitation. The appellation's wines typically express a leaner, more mineral style than those from the Côte de Beaune, with the Chardonnay tending toward green apple, citrus, and chalky notes rather than the richer, more opulent character found further north. The region's limestone-rich soils play a significant role in shaping this profile.

The domaine's work in the Montagny premier cru lieu-dit Le Mont Laurent reflects the appellation's capacity for site-specific expression. Le Mont Laurent is one of Montagny's named premier cru parcels, and the 2022 vintage — a warm, early-harvested year across Burgundy — would have brought ripe fruit character balanced against the naturally fresh acidity that Montagny's terroir tends to preserve.
