Note di degustazione
Quite full in texture, with an almost gummy mouthfeel. Intense core fruit that deserves some time to evolve and open. More flabby than most Chablis, but justifies it with the intensity of flavour. (RH)

Pale yellow with a green tinge. Delicate, spicy scents of ginger and quinine complicated by minerality. Supple on entry, then spicy and alive in the middle palate, with citrus and white peach flavors accented by a peppery quality. Shows lovely energy and mineral tension and finishes with very good length. Winemaker Didier Séguier notes that the estate's vines in the Butteaux portion of the greater Montmains slope is the source of this wine's freshness.
The 2016 Chablis 1Er Cru Montmains, which comes from ten parcels, has a clean and precise bouquet with scents of limestone, Granny Smith apples and a touch of oyster shell coming through with time. The palate is well balanced with a malic, Granny Smith apple-driven opening, a keen thread of acidity and a twist of bitter lemon on the finish. This has good potential.
