Critic reviews
"The 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains exhibits attractive aromas of citrus zest, sweet orchard fruit, white flowers and orange zest, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate animated by bright acids and concluding with a saline finish."
William Kelley, September 2023, RobertParker.com
"The 2022 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru has a fresh and vibrant bouquet. A hint of chai infuses the citrus fruit, becoming increasingly mineral-driven as it opens in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. A touch of white chocolate and peach skin gain depth towards the finish, but not letting go completely like Billaud's other Premier Crus. Still, this is a very classy Montmains."

"A more elegant nose reflects aromas of algae, sea breeze, essence of pear and more obvious white floral scents. Here too there is a lovely density to the rich and generous middleweight flavors that, like the nose, are more refined on the almost salty finish where citrus-tinged acidity maintains the balance and focus. Lovely."
