The 2010 Chablis Montmains is gorgeous. White stone fruits, citrus, flowers and mint give the wine considerable brightness. In 2010, the Montmains is totally inviting for its textural finesse and lovely grace. It is, in my view, the best balanced of the premier crus. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.
The Drouhin-Vaudon wines are pressed in Chablis and then complete their elevage in the Drouhin cellars on the outskirts of Beaune. The 2010s have turned out quite well. I also tasted the 2011s from tank and/or barrel, but found the wines too raw to accurately evaluate at this time.
