Wine Identification
The La Chablisienne Montmains 2019 is a white wine from the Burgundy region of France. It carries the Chablis Premier Cru appellation, representing one of the most prestigious classifications within the Chablis area. The vintage is 2019, and the producer is the renowned cooperative La Chablisienne.

Origin and Winemaking
This wine is crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from vineyards located on the left bank of the Serein River in the municipality of Chablis. The vines are approximately 25 years old, providing a solid foundation for the fruit’s character. The site features a southeast orientation and is planted in clay-limestone soils, which contribute to the wine’s structure and minerality.

The winemaking process begins with cold static settling to separate solids before fermentation. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in vats and barrels. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for approximately 12 months on fine lees within these same vessels (vats and barrels). This extended contact with lees helps build texture and complexity while preserving the fresh fruit profile typical of the region.

Tasting Profile
As a white Burgundy from Chablis, this Montmains Premier Cru is expected to exhibit the classic varietal character of Chardonnay: crisp acidity, notes of citrus and green apple, and distinct mineral undertones derived from the clay-limestone terroir. The aging on fine lees in mixed vessels suggests a wine with moderate body, creamy texture, and integrated oak influence, rather than overt vanilla or toastiness. The cold settling indicates a focus on purity and freshness in the final product.

Critical Reception
James Suckling awarded this wine 93 points.

Learn more about La Chablisienne

It was founded on 1 May 1923 and was the first producers' cooperative in Chablis. It came out of a specific need: between the wars growers could not sell their wine, and they banded together on the initiative of the Abbé Balitrand to set up a shared winery. There were 180 of them at the start.

Today it is made up of between 250 and 270 growing families farming some 1,250 hectares.

In the mid-1950s something important changed: it began receiving grapes and must instead of finished wine, and with that gained control of the winemaking.

Its Grenouilles parcel tells a story of patience. It had been vinifying that fruit since 1979 under a long lease, bought the property in 1999 and did not take possession until 2003-2004, when the lease ran out. Twenty-four years from first working the vineyard to being able to call it its own.

It amounts to 7.2 hectares and makes up the greater part of that grand cru.
