Domaine de la Mandeliere Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu 2023

Marked by clarity and complexity, this highly prized 1er Cru expresses a high level of minerality with floral notes of acacia, crisp orchard fruits, citrus, and honey comb. In the mouth the wine is rich and powerful revealing the terroir of Mont de Milieu.

One of the 17 “principal” premier crus, it sits on the right bank, on the east side of the Serein River. The area gets its name, which translates to “middle hill”, from the fact that it marked the border between the dukedoms of Burgundy and Champagne.

100% Chardonnay. Aging takes place in small stainless steel vats (80%) and 400 liter demi-muids (20%). The wine, aged in barrel, also ferments in barrel before blending after 12 to 18 months on the lees.

Farming Practice: Certified HVE Sustainable.
