Domaine Denis Race Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu 2023

Domaine Denis Race Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu 2023 is a refined expression of Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ most respected premier cru sites. Positioned on the sunnier, more protected slopes above the Serein Valley, Mont de Milieu often yields wines with notable ripeness, precision, and the classic mineral tension that makes Chablis so distinctive. This is a white Burgundy with both elegance and substance, reflecting the region’s long winemaking heritage.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this Chablis 1er Cru typically shows a pale gold color with green reflections, signaling youth and freshness. The nose is expected to offer a clean, lifted profile of citrus, green apple, white flowers, and subtle wet-stone minerality, with hints of ripe pear and a light saline edge adding depth. On the palate, the wine should feel focused and vibrant, balancing crisp acidity with a silky, medium-bodied texture. Flavors of lemon zest, orchard fruit, and chalky minerality lead into a long, precise finish. While approachable in its youth, the structure of premier cru Chablis suggests it can develop additional complexity over the next several years, gaining more honeyed and nutty nuances with bottle age.

Viininvalmistus
Mont de Milieu is a renowned premier cru vineyard in Chablis, where Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils help shape the region’s trademark mineral-driven style. The site’s favorable exposure contributes to fuller ripeness while still preserving the freshness that defines great Chablis. Grapes are typically harvested by hand or with careful selection to ensure optimal quality, and vinification generally emphasizes preserving purity and terroir expression, often through cool fermentation and maturation in stainless steel or neutral vessels to maintain freshness and clarity.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
Serve this wine chilled, ideally at 10-12°C, to highlight its energy and mineral precision. It pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, grilled white fish, sushi, roast chicken, and creamy goat cheese. Decanting is generally not necessary, though a short period in the glass can help the wine open up if enjoyed in its youth.
