Representing close to four acres in six parcels of vines including a section in Forets, Drouhin Vaudon’s 2011 Chablis Montmains delivers a generously juicy dose of fresh lime infused with green tea and chalk. Saline and alkaline notes lend a bracing and mouthwatering maritime aura, while musky rose radish along with citrus pip serve for a strikingly invigorating finishing tactile impingement in a wine of otherwise fine-grained texture. This should serve for genuine excitation in even jaded palates over the next half dozen years. - David Schildknecht

A rich, almost exotic wine, the 2011 Chablis Montmains wraps around the palate with white truffle, tangerine, honey and spice nuances. The rich, voluptuous style holds considerable early appeal. I am not sure how long the 2011 will drink this well, but today is quite beautiful. The style is extroverted, but all the elements are in the right place. This is a terrific showing from Drouihin-Vaudon.
