Production notes
Mont de Milieu pronounced "Mont de Miyeux", spelled "montmelliant" in 1218, "Mont de Milieux" in 1398, evokes the particularity of this hill which, in the past, had a border that one separated the duchies of Burgundy and Champagne. This famous Premier Cru benefits from a situation comparable to that of its Grand Cru neighbors - south/southeast exposure. This exposure guarantees a higher than average temperature and longer sunshine, which is a guarantee of quality.
Tasting notes
The Chablis 1er Cru "Mont de Milieu" with its southern exposure and its Kimmeridgian subsoil gives this wine great complexity. The sunny side of the wine has notes of ripe fruit balanced with the mineral power of this climate. The nose expresses fruity and iodized notes. The mouth is round on the attack and finishes on a beautiful minerality with remarkable length.
