La Chablisienne : Chablis 1er cru "Montmains" 2019

A refined and balanced Chablis 1er Cru

The estate
Founded in 1923 in Burgundy, La Chablisienne has established itself as the leading producer of the Chablis appellation and one of France’s most emblematic cooperative cellars. Thanks to the exceptional richness of its climats, it reveals the full complexity of the Kimmeridgian terroir, the mineral signature of chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety of this region.

The vineyard
Originating from a terroir located on the left bank of the Serein, this Chablis 1er Cru Montmains benefits from an ideal southeast exposure. The vines, averaging 25 years of age, root in soils typical of this Burgundian appellation, contributing to the wine’s elegance and freshness.

Vinification and aging
After a cold static settling, the musts are vinified both in vats and barrels, where alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place. The aging of this Chablis 1er Cru on fine lees lasts 12 months, split between vats and barrels, to preserve the purity of the fruit while gaining complexity.

Grape variety

This 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains from La Chablisienne is 100% chardonnay/
