The 2021 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru, aged in 40% used oak, has a linear, slightly chalky bouquet that unfolds in the glass, a subtle mintiness coming through with aeration. The palate is textural and beautifully balanced, with finely-pitched acidity and slightly honeyed towards the finish, displaying seamlessly integrated oak. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2023)

Hits all the right buttons. Racy mouth watering acid, with lemon peel, seashell and biscuit notes. Hard to imagine a better example of 1er Cru at this price.

Jun 7th, 2020The 2017 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru is clean, racy and super precise. Chalk, white flowers, mint and white pepper all confer brightness to this energetic, brisk taut Chablis. In the glass, the Montmains is so attractive and translucent. Orchard fruit and sweet floral notes linger on the close. Readers who want to see the elegance of 2017 will find plenty of that here.

Still a bit too young but lovely citrus notes, lemon cream, slight chalk and hazelnut skin.

Subtle, leesy, mineral, and contained. More floral notes and ripe citrus opened up to a clean and nuanced Chablis with classic chalk and saline finish. A little elusive but very charming and fun

Zippy but also ripe, almost rich. Excellent young Chablis!

Textbook! Unique Chablis earthy minerality exudes marine chalkiness, flint, chicken broth, and bright lemon-oil tinged fruit. Intense flavors glide effortlessly (as if on a mag-lev track) across the palate. Intensely stony and pure and long. Still youthful. Really classy.

Loving the '12s so far, fat without being vulgar. Lobster shell and sea water, with a nice touch of reduction.
