Tasting note

However noble its vineyard origins, when tasted on the heels of Brocard's two generic, village bottlings of this vintage, their 2011 Chablis Montmains was up against a sizeable challenge. There is a distinct chalk and crushed stone underling cast here that helps set into relief brightly juicy citrus and apple. But the diversity of mineral-like dimensions found in those two generic bottlings is not in evidence, nor is the same sense of levity. That having been noted, this is impressively dense, and the zesty invigoration and oily yet enlivening cling here from its diverse citrus is quite persistently delightful, hints of iodine and citrus pip lending welcome counterpoint. Not only should this perform well through at least 2016, I would not be surprised to witness enhanced allure over time. Score - 90. (David Schildknecht, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2013)

Under the greenish yellow colour, the medium and complex nose evokes floral, fruity and mineral notes. On the palate, it offers a broad mouthfeel that leads into a medium finish. Enjoy this dry, medium-bodied and fruity white featuring refreshing acidity.

Floral, citrus and mineral are intense on the nose of this refreshing and complex Chablis. Start a meal with oysters on the half shell.
