Samuel Billaud - Chablis Mont De Milieu 2020

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

All three levels of the Premier Cru are present here, and they are all fairly old. Each are vinified separately then blended. The result is a perky Mont de Milieu with a nice contrast of sweet orchard fruit at the core and blazing structural tension. There's a delicious salty tang on the finish. - Christy Canterbury MW

Most of the cuvée is produced from Samuel's own vines and 20% is matured in demi-muid of 450-600 litres. Lime and orange zest notes on the palate; a premier cru with very good concentration. Due to be bottled in January 2022. - Andy Howard MW

"From three parcels, 80, 35 and 75 years old, harvested separately with one or two days between, the 2020 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru is aged 80% in tank and 20% in 500-liter barrels for 18 months. It is very complex on the nose, offering apple blossom, freshly diced pear, sea spray and flinty aromas. The palate is well balanced, taut and fresh, delivering a fine bead of acidity and a toothsome finish with plenty of sapidity. Excellent. " - Neal Martin, Vinous
