Domaine Besson 1er Cru Mont de Milieu Chablis 2021 (750ml)

Pale gold with silvery-green highlights, Domaine Besson Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu 2021 (100% Chardonnay) opens with a layered, elegant bouquet—lemon oil, ripe pear, acacia, and chalk dust, accented by hints of almond and oyster shell. From south-facing slopes on Kimmeridgian limestone, this Premier Cru benefits from generous sun exposure, giving both ripeness and depth. Vinified and aged in stainless steel to preserve purity, the palate is rich yet taut—white peach, citrus zest, and subtle salinity unfold over a fine mineral backbone. Brisk acidity provides lift, and the finish is long, savoury, and quietly powerful. A structured and expressive Chablis—harmonious, terroir-driven, and showing the poise and quiet strength of Mont de Milieu.
