Chablis 1er Cru, Montmain, Louis Michel

The domaine owns four parcels in the Montmain vineyard and they are dotted along a limestone/clay hillside, with few a pebbles on the surface. This is a cool or cold climate, depending on the year, and is known to be susceptible to spring frosts. The slope is gentle with a south east exposure. The vines date from 1983-1987. The vineyard work is done sustainably: ground cover, disbudding, green harvesting and ploughing to avoid the use of herbicides. Harvesting is done by hand.
