Description
Lilian has two parcels within Montmains, both of which are around 60 years old. They sit on a rich clay-limestone soil, the parcels being roughly one hectare each. These are vinified separately, using natural yeasts in stainless steel and spending 12 months on lees, before 6 months in barrel.
Whilst Montée de Tonnerre often sits at the pinnacle of the Premier Crus for most producers, Duplessis hold their Montmains as equal to Lilian’s parcel of Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos in terms of being the longest-lived wines of the domaine—this is a truly stunning example of the estate’s quality.
