Description

Montmains, the iconic 1er cru climat that also covers the historic lieux-dits of Fôrets and Butteaux, is situated directly southwest of the Grand Cru amphitheater on the left bank of the Serein. Towards the tip of the valley the slopes face east and offer an exposure to the cool winds of the Serein as well as the bright morning sun. The two act as a foil for one another, producing wines of richness and depth that also maintain vivacity.

Once again, as with the other premier crus, the wine is aged in a combination of stainless steel and used barrels for 15-18 months on the lees.
