Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three days. Great on Day 1 and even better on Day 3. The 2023 Montmains pours a pale straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with bright, powerful notes of green apple, passion fruit, freshly struck match, lemon oil, white tree flowers, and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, floral and mineral laden with a silky texture. Simply fabulous. Drink now with patience through 2038. 4300 bottles made. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — 3 days ago

Lovely aged 1er Cru Chablis, still quite fresh and lively, great fruit and complexity, lots of balancing acidity, I think the 2014 Cote de Lechet might be the top 2014 1er Cru, but this is darn good as well, long finish, “weird” perception on my palate, but I definitely perceived a subtle, yet distinct, “toasted coconut” note at one point (common in the beer pastry stout arena)!! — 4 months ago

Tight with a smirky smile. Gun powder and smoke unfolds into lemon vanilla, pear, coconut shavings, a little personality. — 8 months ago

Blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre, medium Ruby red color with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice notes, aged for 12 months. On the palate flavors of cherry, red plums and blueberry with notes of black pepper, floral and spice. Fine chewy tannins, long savory finish, ending with fruit, herbs, spice and slight earthy notes. Organic, drinking well, will cellar a bit! — 2 months ago

This is so good. Cooking now but more notes soon. It’s got this uncanny elegance on the palate plus this unreal concentration of sweet oak, minerals and fleshy fruit but backed up by ripping acids. Buttery Meursault but elevated beyond. — 5 months ago

Wow medium yellow and complex nutty earthy ripe orange spicy notes carrying through to bracing acidity and firm texture then long finish. No sign of oxidation from previous notes and giving it higher ratings. — 7 months ago

Has a medium vermilion hue. Looks very light and clean. Bright cherries and wet cedar on the nose. Plenty of soft forest floor. Light bodied but good medium tannins. Apple skins, black cherries, and strong cranberry flavors. — 4 years ago

Killer nose: stanky, lemony, green apple, with so much soil, stone, Kimmeridgian oyster-bed character and Chablis soul. The mouthfeel is the whole story here. Rich, juicy, opulent and hedonistic in texture, but absolutely alive, with real voltage underneath. Deep, layered, mouthwatering and beautifully mineral, with that classic oyster-shell salinity running through the fruit. A basic Chablis only in name. This has serious depth, energy and texture. — a month ago

Young, fresh, still quite primary fruit in this younger 1er Cru Vaillons, some tart lemon acidity, some fine minerality, a floral note as well, medium-long finish, needs a little more aging (2-4 years?) for my palate, but very, very nice!! — 4 months ago

First time for this wine. Very crisp and citrus taste. Finish with minerality. This is lovely for the price. Not sweet at all. — 4 years ago

Bubbly and effervescent, sweeter aftertaste, pairs well with a berry-based desert. — 5 years ago
