and this vintage delivers power

with minimal new wood to retain clarity

with tightly knit tannins that will require patience to fully unfurl

but also restraint — the kind of quiet confidence that only great vintages deliver

Domaine Jean Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2023 (750ml) and this vintage delivers powerMontmains is a stony, terroir driven Premier Cru that the domaine notes for its strongly mineral aromatics and an ample, rounded mouthfeel, and their old vines here push that contrast beautifully. Expect a nose of citrus peel, white peach and crushed rock, then a palate that opens wider through the mid section ripe orchard fruit, a gentle creaminess and a clear flinty edge finishing with a long, salty chalky run that feels very Montmains.
