Pale straw-yellow. A complex nose of lemon, green apple and white peach with hints of crushed shells and chalk. Medium-bodied and well balanced, with lively acidity, a touch of creaminess from the barrel portion and a long, saline finish.

About this wine

Chablis Premier Cru "Montmains" is made by Domaine Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin, a Chablis family estate with nearly 400 years of winegrowing history, now run by the fourteenth generation on about 13 hectares.

Montmains lies on the left bank of the Serein, where vines of around 45 years root into Kimmeridgian limestone rich in fossil oyster shells. The grapes are pressed pneumatically, the must settles naturally for 12–24 hours, and fermentation with native yeasts runs partly in steel and partly in barrel, followed by malolactic fermentation and 8–10 months in stainless steel.

The 2022 is pure Chardonnay, made in about 15,000 bottles, with ageing potential of more than a decade.
