Meet Domaine William Fèvre's 2020 Chablis Montmains Premier Cru, a wine born from one of Burgundy's most storied slopes and crafted by masters who've been perfecting the art since 1959. Montmains sits on ancient Kimmeridgian limestone, a geological gift that delivers serious minerality and structure without pretension. Crack it open and you'll find green apple, citrus zest, and white flowers greeting your nose, backed by that signature flinty, chalky character that makes Chablis so irresistible. The palate is where it shines: bright, taut, and impossibly refined, with acidity that dances and a finish that lingers with purpose. This is Chablis stripped to its essence; pure, precise, and utterly captivating.

Consisting of roughly equal parts Montmains, Butteaux and Forêts (the three sous-climats of Montmains), the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains offers up aromas of crisp green apple, white flowers, bee pollen and oyster shell. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, it's taut and precise, concluding with a saline finish. 92Pts, Drink 2023-2045, William Kelley - The Wine Advocate
