2021 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

2021 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

Montmains is on the slope of the left bank, snuggled right up next to Vaillons, but has deeper clay soils, and typically produces a rounder wine with more weight. 40% aged in oak, this is really quite ‘bourguignon’ in style, as in, it wouldn’t be impossible to mistake it for something from the Côte d’Or if tasting blind, but that little kick of oyster shell that whips around the fruit gives it away as Chablis. There’s a wonderful perfume of yellow and white flowers, while the palate displays an enticing white stone fruit element with a little creamy toast character from the oak and a long iodine finish.
