Note di degustazione
The 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains reveals aromas of green apple, pear, honey and white flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered palate that's taut, youthfully blocky and mineral. It shows good cellaring potential.

Tank sample. Less open than the Chablis, less obviously fruity. Stone dust and citrus. Riper as it opens. Creamy texture, sweet-sour freshness not quite meshed. Moderate intensity and good length. (JH)
Didier Séguier notes that Montmains, with it's deep clay soil, imparts extra richness. A favourite cuvée for Séguier, this is very mineral in character, tempering the richness and power on the palate. Fèvre owns 3.8ha of Montmains, coming from 10 plots across all three sub-climats.
The cool and almost reticent nose makes clear that it could be from nowhere but Chablis with its array of prominent mineral reduction, shellfish and iodine-scented pear and floral aromas. The more refined if perhaps slightly less generous middleweight flavors possess both good volume and vibrancy on the lightly stony, persistent and balanced finish. This lovely effort should be more than capable of delivering 7 to 10 years of cellaring potential.
