Tasting notes: 2006 is a very classic vintage for the Chablis and particulary for the 1er Cru Montmains.The balance between all the elements and especially alcohol and acidity which are extremely good.
The wine gives white flowers and white peach flavours. The mineral flavours come after taste, and make the lenght very good.
It is delicious with fish, or with cheese.
