Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Cru 'Montmains' 2022

From a 35-year-old parcel in the middle of the vineyard and aged in stainless steel, the 2022 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru has a discrete bouquet gradually opening in the glass with hints of yellow plum, nectarine and beeswax. The very well-balanced palate has a keen thread of acidity, very saline in the mouth with the same verticality as the ?Grands Terroirs?. A real livewire on the finish sporting a very clever and subtle reduction. 92-94 Points. Neal Martin, Vinous.
