"The Garnier 2011 Chablis Montmains is redolent of lemon-laced fish stock and lightly-roasted peanuts. Firm and bright on the palate, its sustained finish focuses on fresh white peach and zesty lemon and grapefruit. Matured largely in demi-muids along with some stainless steel, this bottling registers barely 12% alcohol (though the label displays “12.5%”) after having left behind 2.3 grams of residual sugar that one can scarcely taste as such. I could well imagine it becoming yet more delightful as well as more interesting with a few years of bottle age and I would not hesitate to follow some . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
