Gautheron Chablis 1er Cru Montmains Vieilles Vignes 2023

$4999

On the opposite side of the valley from Montee de Tonnerre, Montmains sits on the left bank with a southeast-facing slope steep enough to demand attention. Gautheron's parcel is planted to vines pushing eighty years old, which is exactly the kind of detail that shows up in the glass. Full malolactic, eighteen to twenty months on fine lees, no new oak. The wine is generous and creamy textured without losing the steely Chablis backbone, with apricot and smoky lemon riding a long, salivating finish. A classicist's old-vine Chablis.

More about Gautheron

Glance at Gautheron’s label and you’d guess this is a classic producer. And, well, sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. Gautheron is, as Burghound says, an “old school domaine” with a “decidedly traditional style.” But traditional doesn’t mean staid: Gautheron is an exciting producer to get to know. Partly, that’s down to Cyril, (son of Alain) bringing new energy and focus to the old-school approach: yields are low, farming is more focussed than ever, and the wines have both intense expressiveness and clear identity.

But more than that, it’s the thrill of honest Chablis itself: Racy Kimmeridgian minerality, cooling northern acidity, and beautiful fruit in terroir-specific variations.
