The Domaine du Chateau de Fleys presents the Chablis Premier Cru ‘Mont de Milieu’, a label with an overwhelming mineral stamp that gives tension to the taste. The Premier Cru of ‘Mont de Milieu’ is one of the most suitable vineyards for viticulture in the Chablis area and is located on the slope of a hill protected from the northern winds by a forest, while being quite open and airy. The climat is situated on the right bank of the Serein river and encompasses a total of 44 hectares of vineyards, characterized by rather homogeneous soils. Historically, this hilly plot was crossed by the border line that separated the county of Champagne from the duchy of Burgundy.
The Chablis ‘Mont de Milieu’ Premier Cru by Chateau de Fleys is a 100% Chardonnay from vines with an average age of 50 years exposed to full south. The vineyard extends over 2 and a half hectares and is rooted in Kimmeridgian period soils rich in limestone clays and marine fossils. After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo soft pressing and the must then goes through alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the same winemaking containers where complete malolactic fermentation takes place. Also, the subsequent maturation phase of several months occurs in steel, in order to preserve all the freshness and minerality typical of the climat.
The Chablis Premier Cru ‘Mont de Milieu’ by Chateau de Fleys is a bright straw yellow color. The olfactory mosaic consists of delicate floral and herbaceous aromas that embrace fresh hints of iodine and citrus. Tense and balanced the tasting, with a fresh and crunchy progression that rests on long mineral sensations. Thanks to its almost marine mineral expressiveness, this Chablis pairs beautifully with rather elaborate seafood first and second courses.
