2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains, Domaine Bersan
Chablis, Burgundy, France
This impressive 1er cru Montmains Chablis from Bersan is a precise wine with impressive mineral complexity. In the glass it reveals aromas of lemon and grapefruit. The palate is opulent with laser beam length and the finish is long with a mouth-watering quality.
The Montmains vineyard is a prestigious Premier Cru known for crafting exceptional Chardonnay wines. With a history spanning centuries, the region combines tradition with modern techniques to produce wines of outstanding quality. The southeast-facing slope provides ample sunlight for optimal ripeness, while the cool climate and limestone soils contribute distinct mineral flavours.

Father and son duo Jean-Louis and Jean-Christophe run this 22-hectare estate based in Saint-Bris-le-Vineux. This village, beyond the limit of the Chablis district, is notable for its sheer number of highly respected growers, many of whom have vines up the road in Chablis. In France, Saint Bris is much sought-after, but thankfully it remains under-the-radar in the UK, making these wines a real coup when it comes to quality and pedigree of terroir. Soils are either Portland or Kimmeridgian, and the village is chock full of 11th and 12th-century cellars. The cellar carrying the name Bersan above the door is particularly lovely, crammed with barrels in which the wines peacefully mature.
