The Premier Cru "L'Homme Mort" or "the dead man" in english, is a plot located in the "Fourchaume" climate, renowned for its wines of great finesse and minerality. Two explanations are given to explain the unattractive name of this climate: A slip of the tongue, "the dead elm", an old tree used to mark out plots. The presence of a small cemetery at the entrance to the valley. A few sarcophagi from the Merovingian period containing skeletons were unearthed there. Terroir : Limestone soils rich in Kimmeridgian, ideal exposure on the south-western slopes of Bougros. Tasting : Bright pale gold color. Intense nose of candied citrus, hazelnut and flint. Vibrant palate with beautiful tension and a lingering saline finish.

NOSE Floral, earthy and spicy, with great density, heightened finesse and minerality. PALATE The taste of wine is fresh, elegant, balanced, with hints of white fruits and a harmonious finish. However the Chablis Premier Cru “Montmain” is a slightly heavier wine than the other Chablis. Deep and very subtle, its characteristics are often close to those of the greatest white wines of the Côte d’Or. VINIFICATION Wood is not used in order to remain close to the terroir and the traditional aromas of Chablis wines. PAIRING This Chablis 1er Cru will be an excellent couple of risotto, monkfish curry, grilled shellfish and seafood in general. Perfect with perfectly with cheese, especially goat’s cheese, Coulommiers or Brie.
