Esteemed as a pristine example of the Burgundian winemaking art, the Jean Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2017 entrances the palate with eloquent expression. Sourced from the windswept slopes of the premier cru vineyard of Montmains, the exceptionally old vines yield small quantities of intensely concentrated grapes. This Chablis is produced by the meticulous Dauvissat family, inheritors of traditional winemaking knowledge dating back to the 18th century. Capturing the nuances of Kimmeridgian limestone soil, this liquid poetry embodies scintillating acidity interlaced with notes of green apples, minerals, and white flowers. Maturation on fine lees elicits depth and silken textures, the result of Dauvissat's unwavering dedication to natural yeast fermentation and avoidance of oak. The voluptuously complex Jean Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2017, a testament to Chablis' prowess, is a compelling meta-narrative distilled into the glass — of terroir embraced and innovation delicate, of legacy respected, and new chapters written.
