To discover - or rediscover - the subtle, delicate pleasure of decent white Burgundy at a passable price, where should you turn? The Cinderella appellation of Montagny isn't the most obvious answer, for its wines can be threadbare - but in masterly hands it delivers superb bottles at a keener cost than its starry neighbours.
