Wine rated 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
Chablis’s leading producer consistently delivers a faithful interpretation of the appellation, thanks to the precise and meticulous work of winemaker Vincent Bartement. As always, the wines are released with a one-vintage delay; this year’s release is the 2016 vintage—a complicated year, but one in which the Mont-de-Milieu terroir fared very well. Other terroirs that the winery usually handles well taste a little less impressive this time around—let’s wait for the 2017s!

About the wine:
Once again, Mont de Milieu is our favorite wine in the estate’s Premier Cru lineup: with its salty, ripe, and full-bodied character, this lively wine is well-rounded, refined, and dense.
About the estate:
The largest producer of Chablis ranks among France’s top cooperatives, demonstrating equal skill in both business and winemaking. Among the many vintages produced, it can be difficult to choose, but all the wines now benefit from flawless technical expertise in pressing and aging on lees. The standout specialties include the consistently excellent Chablis Vieilles Vignes and the Premiers Crus in heavy bottles, which rival the finest wines from private estates—not to mention the famous Grand Cru Château Grenouilles, which should not be drunk too young! The entry-level wines have improved significantly and have shed the reductive notes that once characterized them. La Chablisienne is in fine form!

Review by Mr. STEVY L. Published on May 31, 2020
Is it boring to stick with a sure bet from a world-famous winery? Not at all—especially not with its Chablis wines, and certainly not with its Premier Crus, of which the Mont de Milieu is a perfect example.
