On same side of the Serein river (but the opposite flank of the Valvan Valley) from Vaillons, Montmains has a distinctive, deep soil of bleu d’argile (blue clay) and plenty of limestone rocks. It’s a site that tends to produce textbook Chablis with great m inerality and verve. And you can add texture when you’re talking about a great grower with excellent vine age. In fact, this comes from 0.65 hectares of very old vines (70 years average age) in the lieux-dits of Les Monts Mains, Les Bouts des Butteaux and Vaux Miolot. The latter parcel on deeper, clay rich soils, is difficult to work, but brings additional flesh and texture. This year, it was vinified and aged without oak to maximise the freshness, which has worked a treat. The depth of the site is in the glass, but it is super fresh, balanced, and long.
