2019 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

2019 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

This is a sunny, south-facing vineyard, and the Droin vines are old, and low yielding. In 2019 you can feel the concentration of the vintage. Its nose is laden with peaches, ripe pears, and an elegant reduction. The salinity and mineral energy of the palate carry the full body of the wine with admirable grace. Powerful and persistent.

Tasting notes

A citrusy and mildly exotic nose combines notes of both white and yellow fruit, orange peel and a touch of passion fruit. There is excellent volume to the intense and powerful medium weight plus flavors that culminate in a robust, dense, sappy and mildly warm finish that delivers excellent length.
