Vinous Tasting Note

The 2023 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru has a fresh, malic nose, perhaps a little more old school compared to the Vaillons. The palate is fresh and slightly creamy on the entry, with touches of lemon verbena and orange pith. A dash of white pepper just perks up the understated finish. Fine, though not as long term as others.

About the Producer

About the Producer

The Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin estate is an essential benchmark in Chablis, firmly rooted in the heart of this vineyard for over six centuries. The family history dates back to the 16th century, when an ancestor named Jean Droin was already cultivating the "Au Clos" plot. Today, this long tradition continues with a range of wines of great precision, which capture the essence of the Chablis terroirs. The wines of Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin are distinguished by their pure expression of Chardonnay, the signature of the appellation, and a characteristic saline minerality. The estate particularly excels in its Chablis Premier Cru, with cuvées such as Montmains, Fourchaume, and Mont de Milieu that reflect the diversity of Chablis' climates. The estate's Chablis Grand Cru, notably Les Clos, Vaudésir, Valmur, and Grenouilles, brilliantly express the potential of this unique terroir. It is said that the Droin family has always been committed to preserving the authenticity of its wines, a philosophy that can be felt in every bottle. A beautiful family story in the service of excellence in Chablis. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Les Clos, Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Montée de Tonnerre, and Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Vaudésir, all useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the house.
