The 2023 Domaine Gérard Tremblay Chablis 1er Cru Montmains is a refined Chardonnay from one of the established Premier Cru vineyards of Chablis. The nose is expressive and mineral-driven, showing fresh lemon and orchard fruit alongside white flowers, hazelnut and distinctive flinty notes.
On the palate, it is bright and lively, with refreshing acidity bringing definition to citrus and orchard fruit flavours. There is good depth through the mid-palate, balanced by the stony mineral character associated with Montmains. The domaine uses careful pressing and slow, temperature-controlled fermentation, with a small proportion of older oak used on selected wines to build texture rather than overt oak flavour.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chablis drinkers looking for a Premier Cru with greater depth while retaining freshness, precision and mineral character. Enjoy now or cellar for further development. Ideal with oysters, scallops, grilled fish, prawns, roast chicken or creamy seafood dishes.
