Domaine Chanson Chablis Montmains Premier Cru

The Montmains is one of the most well-known Premier Cru sites in Chablis – a slope with a high Kimmeridgian content, which gives Chardonnay a distinct minerality and structure. Domaine Chanson from Beaune, rooted in Burgundy since 1750, vinifies this wine with the goal of letting the site speak: no wood that covers, but cellar work that ensures precision.

In the glass, the Montmains shows a clear, light-golden color. On the nose, citrus blossom, green apple, and a distinct flint tone – the typical Chablis profile that comes from the chalky clay of the Kimmeridgian. On the palate, taut, lively acidity, medium body, fine salty texture. The finish is long, cool, and mineral – not a lush Burgundy style, but the clear, bone-dry signature of northern Burgundy.

With two to three years of storage, the wine gains depth. Serving temperature 10–12 °C.
