Montmains Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

Perfect for broofing.

2012 was a very good vintage for Chablis. In general lots of crisp acidity but w/ less weight than 2010. Snapshot of 12 Fèvre 1er & Grand Cru: Montmains, taut body not too severe w/ floral note; Vaillons, great precision w/ green apple more moderate weight; Vaulorent, saline minerality; Vaudésir, spicy will need more time to show complexity; Bougros Côte Bougerots, some dry extract that balances intense acidity (textural wine); Les Clos, riper stone fruit with stunning long length.

Everything I could hope for from a young Chablis. Indelibly elegant.

Highlights from today's white burg tasting

Had this 2012 with a broiled Halibut tonight. Finished the bottle before we knew it. Delicate almond and tangerine aromas. Full of minerals, but no hard edges any more. Everything a Chablis should be.

Quite nice balance with freshness and good aroma.

So yummy...

Just wow!

Beauty innovative Chablis :) woody to perfection with a lovely layer of minerality ... Would foul you for a beaune.

Very versatile Chablis. Served with mahi mahi, tandoori chicken, shrimp with red curry and veal.
