Chablis Premier Cru, Montmains

"Comprising fruit from Les Forets, Bouts des Butteaux and (true) Montmains, the relatively late-harvested Fevre 2006 Chablis Montmains (raised in a 60:40 ratio of tank to barrel) reveals similar richness, but new dimensions of minerality and complexity when compared with the corresponding Beauroy. Tangerine, peony, orange blossom and herbal essences in the nose slightly suggest muscat. In the mouth, chalk, salt and scallop-like flavors inflect ripe peach, tangerine and lime, and without sacrificing any purity of fruit or a refreshing juiciness that carries into a long finish, this offers tactile sense of chalkiness and subtly satisfying hints of oak. I would not hesitate to hold it up for up to half a dozen years." 91 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (October, 2008)
