2020 Jean Dauvissat Chablis Premier Cru Montmains

I have high expectations on this new arrival, as I am a big fan based on the past vintages of Jean Dauvissat Montmains that I have tasted. In my opinion, Montmains and Fourchaume are the two best plots of Jean Dauvissat production. The Montmains plot is really small, at only 0.76 hectare, you can virtually count how many bottles they produce, not to mention this production is split amongst the whole world wine merchants, thus our allocation is so miniscule I treasure every bottle I have. Montmains vines were planted back in 1954 and 1968, thus it’s consider old vines. I was served too chilled for my first glass, bouquet didn’t open up but when the wine warmed up in the glass, the powerful fruity notes along with mineral showed up. The content is interesting, with a good mouthful of acidity, along with a hint of minerality. What I really liked most is the penetration of the fruits on the palate is deep, with multilayer of fruits caressing softly on the tongue. An absolute pleasure, this Chablis is highly recommended for Chablis lovers.
