HALF BOTTLE

Montmains proper in roughly equal amounts.

An exuberantly floral-suffused nose evidences background notes of citrus rind and enough Chablis typicity to be interesting. There is really lovely intensity to the powerful and super-saline middle weight flavors that terminate in a very dry and sleek finish. This needs to develop more depth but if it is allowed a few years of cellar time, it should progressively develop.

Opening in the glass with notes of citrus oil, crisp green apple, iodine and wet stones, Fèvre's 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with incisive acids and chalky grip on the finish. Cropped at 35 hectoliters per hectare, it's unusually deep and structured this year, and it will reward patience.

Fine pale lemon colour. This has a beautiful nose from the very start. A large third comes from, butteaux, for minerals, 20% from Forêts for elegance, and the remainder from Montmains for weight and structure. Classical chalky nose, absolutely perfect weight of fruit and tension here, very long finish. This will please the purist and the punter alike, says Didier (in translation). Very long aftertaste.
