Chablis 1er cru Montmains 2021

(from Montmains proper, one-third of which was barrel aged). A more elegant and notably more floral-suffused nose reflects notes of spice, white orchard fruit and lemongrass along with enough Chablis character to be convincing. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the delicious and well-detailed flavors that also conclude in a moderately dry and lingering finish where the only nit is the impression of warmth despite the low-ish alcohol level. This too should drink well on the younger side if that’s your preference.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
