Tasting notes
The 2023 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru has kicked on nicely since bottling with yellow fruit, orange cordial and light floral scents. The palate is well balanced and fresh, with a fine bead of acidity and subtle dried honey and pineapple notes toward the finish, reflecting the growing season. The 2023 is early drinking.

Michel’s 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Montmain, bottled in November 2024, derives from southeast-facing vines growing in clay-rich soils that tend to bring roundness. Wafting from the glass with aromas of acacia, green apple, lemon zest and honeysuckle, it’s medium-bodied, bright and lively, with good focus and immediate charm.
The 2023 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru has a fragrant bouquet with wild mint and fennel infusing the citric fruit. The palate is very well balanced, with a slightly viscous entry, nectarine and peach notes, and a touch of lemongrass. It needs to develop a little more mineralité on the finish.
