Tasting Notes

Fresh and markedly floral aromas of pear and sea breeze reflect a hint of lychee. There is a sleeker mouth feel to the lightly mineral-infused, delicious and appealingly textured middle weight flavors that culminate in a clean and reasonably dry finish. This notably rich effort isn't classically styled but it offers enough Chablis typicity to be convincing. Note: from a .37 ha holding of relatively young vines in Montmains proper

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (72), October 2018

The 2016 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains exhibits notes of mandarin oil, crisp apple and honeycomb, followed by a glossy, full-bodied and expansive palate, with ripe acids, good concentration and chewy extract. It's a more textural, generous expression of the vintage that will offer a lot of pleasure at the table.
