A more citrusy expression with lime and lemon and some flinty, chalky notes. The palate has a very fleshy, ripe and juicy feel with good freshness, too. Flavorsome peaches and a mineral edge to close.

Aromas of sliced apple, lemon zest, dried apricot and flint. It's medium-bodied with tangy acidity and a saline, flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
- Chablis 1er Cru "Montmains" 2017 - James Suckling - February 2019 - 92/100There's attractive, bright fruit on offer here, in the ripe-mango, peach and nectarine zone. Attractive wild flowers, too. The palate has a super succulent core of vibrant acidity with a wealth of fresh mangoes and peaches. Long, smooth finish. Drink now.

Straw and sliced-apple character. Full-bodied, layered and beautiful with light pears and apples. Alcohol pops out at end. Traditional style. Drink now.
- Chablis Premier Cru Montmains 2014 - Wine Spectator - 88/100Shows flavors of ripe, tropical fruit, but also an underlying stony element. Overall, this is loosely knit and moderately long. Drink now.

The 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains, raised for 12 months in stainless steel, has a crisp and precise bouquet: apple blossom and fresh pear laced with slate-like aromas. The palate is fresh and crisp with a keen line of acidity, vibrant and energetic with a nicely poised finish that lingers in the mouth. This is worth seeking out. Drink 2016-2025.
