The 2018 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru is bright and punchy, with a terrific interplay of dense fruit and stony minerality. Yellow orchard fruit, chamomile, and dried flowers are all finely cut in a Chablis that balances the ripeness of the year with the inherent energy captured by this cool, clay-rich site. This is such a pretty, nuanced Chablis.
A ripe and mildly exotic but attractively fresh nose offers up notes of pear and apple compote that are trimmed in nuances of iodine, quinine and oyster shell. The rich, vibrant and delicious medium weight flavors exude a lovely salinity which together with the evident citrus influence add lift to the clean and moderately dry finale.
