Tasting note

Louis Michel’s four Montmains vineyards are planted with mature vines, and extend along a clay slope known for being sensitive to spring frosts. Careful attention is therefore required to cultivate this land. It's worth it, because the wine demonstrates that magical Premier Cru combination of ripe fruit with quintessential Chablis saline character. Intricately complex, with spicy floral aromas, toasted almonds, candied lemon and apple; it is dry, lively, pure and accessible, with no artifice.

In the press

A single parcel that has good balance between clay and limestone in the soil. A very rich peaches and mangoes on the nose with acacia and honeysuckle. Very attractive density with ripe mangoes and yellow peaches. Bold and fleshy. Drink now or hold.

Vineyard

Kimmeridgian. Left bank. South-east exposure. The soil is quite deep in places and is made up of distinctive hard limestone in an abundant clay base.

Viticulture

Organic practice

Vinification

No added yeasts, long fermentation using indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Matured for 18 to 20 months only in stainless steel tanks with as little intervention as possible. Moderate cold stabilisation.
