Besson owns a substantial 5.24-hectare parcel in Montmains, planted on limestone soils with a high proportion of clay, giving the wine mineral intensity and added depth through the mid-palate. The winemaking is very restrained, with slow, gentle pressing followed by fermentation primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel, with only around 8% of the wine seeing barrel, then 18 months of aging on the lees. The 2024 vintage was one of the smallest in recent Chablis history, but the wines have returned to a more classical profile, with excellent freshness, tension and mineral definition. Montmains is especially well suited to that style, and this 2024 shows white flowers, citrus and a distinctly saline, iodized mineral character, with enough texture to give the wine real presence without losing its precision. It is a lovely Premier Cru Chablis with both immediate appeal and the structure to develop nicely in the cellar, and one of the best buys in the category this vintage!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDecanter 96 DWWA Gold Medal \"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePristine wet-stone aromas interlaced with plump yellow fruit and alluring citrus oil.
