Jean Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2025

Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin’s Chablis Premier Cru Montmains is a Chardonnay shaped by the freshness and mineral character of Chablis, with a notably generous texture. From the south-east-facing slopes of Montmains, it brings together ripe yellow-fruit and floral notes with the region’s distinctive Kimmeridgian marl influence.

Tasting Notes
Expect a concentrated, rounded palate balanced by lively freshness and a clear mineral thread. Yellow fruit and apricot lead, joined by floral nuances, hazelnut and almond; with development, the bouquet gains more complex brioche notes. The supplied information does not specify an ageing window.

Production
The Chardonnay comes from deep soils of Kimmeridgian marl and clay on Montmains’ south-east-facing slopes. The vineyards are managed using integrated pest-control practices, with regular soil cultivation. After pneumatic pressing, the must is naturally clarified; fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts in a combination of stainless steel tanks and barrels. Malolactic fermentation follows, then around ten months of ageing before blending and gentle filtration.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 10–12°C with refined fish dishes, shellfish or poultry and other light meats. Decanting is generally unnecessary; if the wine seems particularly closed, give it a brief airing before serving.
