The Story
The 2023 Mont de Milieu from Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin is a classic, terroir-driven Chablis Premier Cru. Bright and expressive, it opens with citrus, white stone fruit and a hint of saline minerality. The palate is both tangy and generous, building into a fleshy mid-palate before finishing with a savoury edge of sea spray and straw. Sourced from low-yielding vineyards, the wine shows impressive concentration balanced by fresh acidity and structure. Elegant yet approachable, it pairs beautifully with oysters, grilled fish or light poultry dishes, offering both immediate appeal and short-term cellaring potential.
