2024 Domaine Louis Michel & Fils Montmains Chablis Premier Cru, France

(92 Points) The 2024 Montmains, Forêts, Butteaux and Vaillons had all been bottled at the end of November of 2025. The Montmains was showing beautifully, delivering a refined and nicely expressive bouquet of green apple,. lime, wet stone minerality, straw, citrus peel and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, crisp and full-bodied, with good nascent complexity, a fine core of fruit, lovely soil signature, zesty acids and a long, beautifully balanced and nicely reserved finish. Good juice that will want a year or two in the cellar before drinking, just to let it completely blossom. 2028-2050+. - John Gilman
