2019 Jean et Sebastian Dauvissat Chablis Montmains 1er Cru

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. The Dauvissats own about one and one-quarter hectares of vineyards within “Montmains”.
Burghound Outstanding ♥ – “A timid nose grudgingly offers up its aromas of citrus rind, oyster shell, petrol and tidal pool. There is very good freshness and energy to the solidly concentrated middle weight flavors that possess slightly better energy on the focused and agreeably dry finale. This is surprisingly good for such young vines and it’s clear that the low yields of the vintage helped considerably.”
