2019 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu, Samuel Billaud

2019 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu, Samuel Billaud

This comes from three parcels within the premier cru, and has been raised 80% in tank, and 20% in oak. It is one of the most open and expressive of the premiers crus. Concentrated and saline, it is intense and pure, with nicely weighted green fruit in its backbone.

Tasting notes

Here too there is a mild exoticism and wood influence on the ripe and fresh nose that offers up enough Chablis character to be persuasive. The exceptionally rich, intense and plush flavors brim with both minerality and dry extract while exhibiting better length on the powerful, serious and bitter lemon-inflected finale. This should drink well young but have no trouble rewarding up to a decade of cellar time.
