Tasting notes
Aromas of green apple, white flowers, oyster shell and beeswax introduce the 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive wine that's quite tightly wound, built around tangy acids and chalky dry extract. This Montmains retains a very classic profile in this ripe vintage.

Bought-in fruit. Cask sample. Ripe and lemony. Lots of fruit here but also high-acid tension. Still identifiably Chablis but more focus on the fruit – ie more open – than on the stony character. Mouth-watering and minerally finish. (JH)
