Chablis Premier Cru AC 'Montmains' 2020
'Montmains' is the 'mid-mountain' which is seated at an intermediate altitude between two higher slopes. The terroir is located on the left bank of the Serein River and has a clay-based soil. Its excellent exposure makes it an early-ripening site, able to deliver great body and structure to the wine, with a generous mouthfeel. 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc grown on gravelly-sandy soils. Each variety is cold fermented separately, followed by temperature controlled tank fermentation and maceration between 25 and 30 days at 28ºC. The final maceration of 4 days averages 33ºC to give body and structure. The wines then undergo malolactic fermentation to soften them, then are aged in French oak barrels for 12 months. The resultant wine displays a nose of black cherry, raspberry and spice, carrying through to the rich, powerful and balanced palate.
