Tasting Notes

An overtly floral-inflected nose displays notes of pear, apple, citrus confit and mineral reduction. There is impressive density to the rich and surprisingly powerful middleweight plus flavors that are supported by bracing lemon-tinged acidity on the more complex, long and highly refreshing finish. Good stuff and worth your interest.

Score: 92

Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2028+ 10 October 2023

Made up of all three parts of Montmains, mostly Forêts and Butteaux which is picked later. Currently cloudy but the bouquet can speak for the wine. Attractive delicate white fruits, not very reductive this year, while the fruit really builds on the second half of the palate and the finish does deliver some kimmeridgian minerals. Racy at the end but also a touch softer than some years. Drink from 2025-2029. Tasted: June 2022

Score: 90 - 92

Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy Maturity: 2025-2029 30 June 2022

The 2021 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru comes from 3.80-hectares within the three climats, one-third each, and is generally a late-ripening cuvée. The aromatics were very primal on the nose with touches of grapefruit and grass clippings. The palate is well-balanced with a citrus thread of acidity, fairly steely with a twist of sour lemon towards the finish. Quite a penetrating Montmains, this will deserve three or four years in bottle.

Score: 90 - 92
