Robert Parker
"The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Montmain reveals aromas of green apple, spring flowers and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, full-bodied and supple, with a succulent, open core, juicy acids and a precise finish." (Wine Advocate 2019)

About the domain :
An old Chablis family, the Michel's cultivate the very best areas, both premier cru and grand cru. The estate is one of the very few to offer the Grenouilles Grand Cru, whose main producer is La Chablisienne. Since 1969, vinification has been carried out in stainless steel tanks, so that the wines here often start off discreetly in bottle, but their minerality reveals itself without concern after a few years' cellaring.

About the wine:
The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Montmain reveals aromas of green apple, spring flowers and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, full-bodied and supple, with a succulent, open core, juicy acids and a precise finish. It lacks the tension and density of Montmain's best vintages, but it's a charming wine that will provide plenty of pleasure in the short term.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)
About the wine:
Quite incisive, Montmains still shows reserve: a serious, well-crafted wine.
