Domaine Gerard Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu 2022

$6999

Crisp, mineral-driven Chablis from one of the region's most distinctive Premier Cru sites. This wine captures everything that makes Mont de Milieu legendary—lemon verbena and crushed stone leap from the glass, while the palate shows remarkable tension and linearity. The Kimmeridgian limestone terroir delivers pure flinty salinity that clings to the finish. Managed by third-generation Lilian Duplessis with biodynamic farming on some of Chablis's steepest slopes, coaxing wines of age-worthy complexity from this cool-climate terrain.

"The 2022 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru has another impressive bouquet with lemon verbena, Vervane flowers and crushed stone that is very well defined. The palate is well balanced with fine weight, more than the Vaillons. Quite taut and linear towards the second half with potent salinity and spice on the aftertaste. A proper Chablis." —Neal Martin

More about Domaine Gerard Duplessis

When Lilian Duplessis took over his father's domaine in Chablis, at the very northern end of Burgundy, he converted to organic farming. This sounds like the sort of generational change we see pretty often and generally love: new blood and new ideas reinvigorate established producers.

But it's actually something that is relatively rare in Chablis, where the extreme climate makes chemicals very tempting. Even the most famous names (you know who...) continue to employ "conventional" farming in some measure. Working the vines this way is really hard work and takes serious commitment.

So Duplessis stands out, right away. But he's taken it even further: he's one of a very few biodynamic growers in Chablis. And even among that small group of producers, Duplessis stands out for making wines that taste most "classical" in style, with clean, pure Chablis flavors that accurately reflect the different nuances of some of Chablis's finest crus. Compared to Chablis's other famous biodynamic producer, Thomas Pico, Duplessis's wines are on the reductive side and can seem a little shy at first. But their track record for short and medium-term aging is excellent.
