Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu Verget 2015
The wine
This Chardonnay comes from a premier cru plot with a full, south-facing aspect in the village of Fleys. The grapes are harvested relatively early to retain the hallmark freshness and tension of a Chablis wine. This cuvée is matured on the fine lees, in concrete vats to conserve its fruity aromas. Its nose is driven by notes of white flower, citrus fruit and dried herbs while its noticeable acidity on the palate gives it freshness and very good length.
