Domaine Feuillat-Juillot Montagny 'Les Crêts' 2022

Domaine Feuillat-Juillot Montagny ‘Les Crêts’ comes from a small one-hectare parcel of 28-year-old vines planted on the stony, chalky slopes of Montagny. The wine opens with a mineral, chalk-driven nose touched with oyster shell and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it is smooth, rounded and softly expressive, showing gentle florals layered over a fresh, precise minerality on the finish. Fermented in thermo-regulated vats and aged on lees for eight months, this cuvée combines purity, texture and classic Montagny finesse.

Domaine Feuillat-Juillot is a family-run 14-hectare estate in Montagny (Côte Chalonnaise), led by Françoise Feuillat-Juillot and now joined by her daughter Camille, continuing a Burgundian legacy that traces back to Françoise’s father, renowned Mercurey producer Michel Juillot. Their vineyards - many with old vines - span 13 Premier Crus across Montagny’s natural amphitheatre, producing a focused range including the introductory ‘Camille’, the terracotta-aged ‘L’Original’, and standout Premier Crus ‘Les Grappes d’Or’ and ‘Les Coères’. Situated just 30 km south of Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, and Meursault, Montagny has a winemaking history stretching from Gallo-Roman times to Benedictine monks in the 10th century. Its chalk-and-clay soils and cool climate shape the domaine’s signature style - elegant, mineral, delicately fruity Chardonnay that reflects the purity of this southern Burgundian terroir.

Rustic Lentil and Roasted Vegetable Stew

Ingredients:

• 1 cup green lentils, rinsed
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 parsnip, diced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 400g diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C. Toss the diced carrots and parsnip with 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper; roast on a baking sheet for about 25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
2. Meanwhile, in a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the celery, roasted carrots and parsnip, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes until the lentils are tender and the flavors meld together.
4. Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir in freshly chopped parsley just before serving.
5. Plate the stew with a side of crusty bread and enjoy it alongside a glass of Domaine Feuillat-Juillot Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru 'Dominodes' 2022 for a harmonious, terroir-driven pairing.
