Robert Parker
"The 2017 Chablis Premier Cru Montmain reveals aromas of green apple, spring flowers, and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, ample, and supple, with a succulent, open heart, juicy acidity, and a precise finish." (Wine Advocate 2019)

About the estate:
An old Chablis family, the Michels cultivate the best areas, both premier crus and grands crus. The estate is also one of the very few to offer the Grand Cru Grenouilles, whose main producer remains La Chablisienne. Since 1969, the wines have been vinified in stainless steel vats, so they often start out discreetly in the bottle, but their minerality reveals itself beautifully after a few years of aging.

About wine:
The 2017 Chablis Premier Cru Montmain reveals aromas of green apple, spring flowers, and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, full and supple, with a succulent, open heart, juicy acidity and a precise finish. It lacks the tension and density of the best Montmain vintages, but it is a charming wine that will give a lot of pleasure in the short term.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)
About wine:
Quite incisive, Montmains is still showing restraint: a serious, well-structured wine.
