Description

The name of this appellation comes from Mont de Lieu which marks the border between Burgundy and Champagne, illustrated by a marker stone dividing the two duchies which can be found on its summit. With a double exposure moving from south to southeast facing, this terroir benefits from a higher average temperature and more sunshine than the other Premiers Crus.

Review

Bursting with aromas of dried white flowers, crisp yellow orchard fruit, and freshly baked bread, the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu is medium to full-bodied, fleshy, and textural, with bright acids and a rich core of fruit that reflects its origins in a sunny, well-exposed site. This is one of the more demonstrative premiers crus in the range.

Tasting Profile
palate

Intense mineral character. Fine yet powerful, racy, and delicate, this wine has remarkable length on the palate. With age, it develops aromas of candied fruit and hazelnuts, with a few toasty touches. Maturing 14 to 16 months, of which 5 to 6 months on fine lees in French oak barrels, for 50% of the harvest. The end of maturation occurs in small stainless steel vats.
