2014 Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Mont de Milieu

There is only a trace of the hallmark exotic fruit nuances of a fine Mont de Milieu; indeed the nose is quite restrained while offering ample amounts of Chablis character. The energetic and intense medium-bodied flavors possess excellent richness and plenty of dry extract that is buffered by citrus-tinged acidity on the impressively long and sappy finale. This is relatively generous to be so young and it should also drink well on the younger side yet have no problem aging successfully.  Burghound 90-93

Pale, bright yellow-green. Strong yellow peach aroma complicated by flint and spices; this could hardly be more different in style from the Séchet. Fat and sweet on the palate, showing lovely concentration but a softer texture and less inner-mouth tension to its yellow fruit flavors. Finishes fat and persistent. This cuvée is a blend of vines at three different altitudes. Vinous/Steve Tanzer 90-93
