Chablis 1er Cru Montmains

Piuze, Patrick
France
Burgundy
2022

Piuze now gets fruit from all three subclimates of Montmains: Butteaux, Forets, and Montmains. He gets fruit from a half a hectare and this wine tends to be the most austere of the three as there is very little topsoil and the vines grow right on the bedrock. The wine is fermented and aged entirely in neutral barrels.

"The 2022 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru has a lovely nose that is a mixture of white and yellow flowers, wet stone and hints of chalk. The palate is very well-balanced with a slightly tangy entry, fresh and saline, with plenty of substance on the finish. There is a real panache here."

"The 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains is a pretty, perfumed wine, bursting with aromas of peach, orange zest and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and charming, with a bright but generous core of fruit, it will make for appealing drinking out of the gates."
