2023 Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Montmain

The four Montmain parcels are dotted along a clay hillside, with few pebbles. This is a cool or cold climate, depending on the year, and is known to be susceptible to spring frosts. The wines of Montmain are particularly fine and balanced, with notes of citrus or white flowers in their youth, depending on the vintage. – Guillaume Michel

Pale lemon yellow. The bouquet has the charm of a more mature Chablis. It is not that this is evolved but it has opened out delightfully at a young age. Apples with a marine rinse. A little yellow fruit on the palate, controlled flesh and very good length. 91 points. Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy Jun 2025
