Montmains sits on the west bank just south of Vaillons, southeast-facing, its Kimmeridgian clay limestone laid down when this part of Burgundy was seabed. And the 45-year-old vines have had plenty of time to find it. Along with Vaillons it's considered the best of the premier crus on that side of the river, and it shows early: more apple than lime, with a nutty nuance running through the mid-palate. Chablis that gives you something in its youth without giving up the stones.

Tasting Notes

Located on the west bank of the Yvonne and just to the south of Vaillons, Montmains has a southeastern exposure. Considered, along with Vaillons, to be one of the top premier crus west of the river, Montmains is forward in its youth, displaying more apple than lime flavors with a distinctive nutty nuance – Benoît says it is reminiscent of hazelnuts or almonds and speculates that this is due to the finer marl soils of this hillside. Domaine Droin owns 2.15 hectares in Montmains.
