Chablis 1er Cru "Montmains"

"Montmains" designates a hill located between two higher slopes. This Climat's lengthwise shape faces south-east/north-east and can include "Les Butteaux" and "Les Forêts".
Our plot is located at mid-slope in the latter Climat, where the vines benefit from southeastern exposure, ensuring that they receive exceptional sunshine.
