2020 Jean et Sebastien Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru "Montmains", Burgundy, France
The “Montmains” site is an extension of the 1er Cru “Les Forets” towards the northeast of the 1er Cru slope. In this instance, the soil has a higher percentage of clay in the mix which produces a more full-bodied wine, strict and structured, marked by earthier notes to the nose and on the palate.

ABOUT THIS WINE
Extending the forests towards the north-east, Les Montmains, on a very clayey and deep soil gives strict and closed wines, which give them an excellent aptitude for ageing. The Dauvissats own about one and one-quarter hectares of vineyards within “Montmains”.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The estate encompasses slightly less than 10 hectares of vineyards. The Grand Cru vineyards are south-facing; the 1er Cru vineyards have a full southeast exposure; and the village property faces northwest. All are hillside sites with an “argilo-calcaire” soil composition heavily marked by small stones that provide for excellent drainage. Of course, the entire vineyard surface is underlain by the Kimmeridgian limestone that makes Chablis one of the most unique wine-producing areas in the world.
