La Châtelaine is one of La Cadette’s best cuvées. This is a beautifully-textured wine, showing that white wines of considerable elegance can be produced in this region.

Domaine de la Cadette was created by Jean Montanet and his wife Catherine in the late 1980s when they began to plant vines in their small village of Saint-Père, close to Vézelay.
Mentored by Bernard Raveneau and inspired to make natural wine by Marcel Lapierre, from the beginning Jean and Catherine’s wines were notable for the drinkability and, in the whites, saline minerality.
We’re sure their wines are an important part of the story which saw Vézelay relatively recently recognised as a village level appellation, with the same status as Pommard, Volnay and other hallowed names, but only for white wines.
It’s a recognition of the effect of the Kimmeridgian limestone which features, with clay, in these vineyards, which are not too far from Chablis.
