It is one of the seven Premier Crus due to its excellent exposure and Kimmeridgian soil concentration, giving it the easily recognizable character of Chablis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the sixties, when the Chablis vineyards were all abandoned, Robert Drouhin recognized the potential of this region which had been ravaged by the phylloxera disease a century before. He was one of the first Burgundy propriétaires who set about revitalizing the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kimmeridgian limestone contains millions of tiny marine fossils embedded in a kind of whitish mortar which may have once been the bottom of the sea. This marine origin gives the wines of Chablis their unique flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage stands out as one of the hottest years in Burgundy, even surpassing 2022. The grapes were harvested at perfect maturity. The wines are very aromatic with notes of yellow fruits mingling with flower hints. The palate is ample and full-bodied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fresh and straightforward wine, typical of Chablis. Clear, straw-yellow colour, with green reflections. The complex and mineral nose reveals flavours of citrus and white flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear-cut impression on the palate. Nice balance between texture and mineral sensations; a wide palette of aromas: citrus, vegetal notes such as asparagus or artichoke; even hints of a marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Chablis Montmains \/ Chablis Premier Cru \/ Chablisien \/ Burgundy \/ France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermentation: Stainless-steel vats after a little settling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: 8 to 10 months in stainless-steel vat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction Attributes: Organic viticulture practices; biodynamic viticulture; hand harvested; whole-bunch slow pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVineyard \/ Geo info: Excellent exposure and Kimmeridgian soil concentration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking Window: Optimal consumption 3 to 8 years; ageing potential 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Saint Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52253811114286,"sku":"7483695940","price":128.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/ChablisPremierCruMontmains.png?v=1782795671","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2023-joseph-drouhin-drouhin-vaudon-montmains-chablis-premier-cru-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
