Very impressive lime with mangoes, as well as white and yellow peach aromas. This has a superb palate with smooth flesh and sleek acidity. Nectarines to close. Really exotic, attractive fresh fruits and a long, fresh palate. A great and smooth-textured Chablis! Drink or hold.

89-91 The 2016 Chablis 1Er Cru Montmains, which comes from ten parcels, has a clean and precise bouquet with scents of limestone, Granny Smith apples and a touch of oyster shell coming through with time. The palate is well balanced with a malic, Granny Smith apple-driven opening, a keen thread of acidity and a twist of bitter lemon on the finish. This has good potential.

89-91 An intensely floral and notably more elegant array displays aromas of mineral reduction, sea breeze and a hint of zest. There is better vibrancy and precision to the more mineral-driven medium weight flavors that culminate in a markedly dry, clean and focused finale. Lovely and fashioned in an understated style.

Pale yellow with a green tinge. Delicate, spicy scents of ginger and quinine complicated by minerality. Supple on entry, then spicy and alive in the middle palate, with citrus and white peach flavors accented by a peppery quality. Shows lovely energy and mineral tension and finishes with very good length. Winemaker Didier Séguier notes that the estate's vines in the Butteaux portion of the greater Montmains slope is the source of this wine's freshness.
Winery
A structured, lively and mineral wine with good length on the palate. Both straightforward and fresh, with exemplary concentration.

green grapes

Varietal: Chardonnay

Despite having its origins in western France, Chardonnay's immense popularity and flexibility quickly meant that before long, there wasn't a wine producing country in the world which wasn't investing in this fascinating and versatile grape varietal. Today, Chardonnays manage to win fine wine competitions and satisfy supermarket shoppers simultaneously, due to the fact that this grape varietal can take on many characteristics and features of where it is grown and how it is handled. Indeed, this green skinned grape is renowned for not having so much unique flavor within the fruit, but is very sensitive to the features of the terroir it is grown in, as well as to aging As such, it isn't unusual to find bottles of single variety Chardonnay wine described as holding notes of white stone, mountain waters, or other such geological features alongside the more predictable fruit descriptions This makes Chardonnay grape varietal wines an exciting world to delve into – full of surprises, full of delights.

Region: Burgundy

In the beautiful French wine region of Burgundy, there is archaeological evidence to suggest that there has been viticultural activity going on for at least two thousand years. To add to this, there are early written records praising the exceptional wines produced in this region dating back to the 6th century, making Burgundy one of the oldest established and still operational wine regions in the world. The region is most commonly associated with fine red wines, with Pinot Noir being the primary grape varietal grown on its rolling hillsides and gently sloping valleys. However, Chardonnay grapes are also produced in abundance for the production of their fine white wines, with both varietals benefiting greatly from the region's warm, hot summers and the superb soils which make up the terroir.
