Montmains is on limestone soils from the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridgian era, very rich in marine fossils and in particular in Exogyra virgula, a small oyster typical of Chablis soils. It occupies one of the hillsides on the left bank of the Serein with a south-east exposure.
In bottle (just a small lot – most to follow later). A stainless steel cuvée. Pale in colour, the bouquet is quite restrained. Just a few stones coming out. The palate is much cooler and the reductive element clearly comes through. Excellent persistence. Drink from 2026-2032. 92 Points
