The 2021 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru has a small reduction on the nose from a few barrels that had not settled by the time of my visit. The palate is promising with good substance, fine acidity, and unlike some other cuvées, has good grip with more persistence on the finish. Very fine.
There is only a vague hint of the hallmark Mont de Milieu exoticism on the aromas of white peach, ocean spray and shellfish--infused nose. There is both excellent volume and a seductive texture to the medium-bodied flavors that possess good power though the clean and dry finish falls off somewhat as it sits on the palate. This may well recover but today, it's good but not special.
