The wine

Pale lemon-yellow, with a nose brimming with ripe pineapple and mango lifted by delicate smoky notes. The palate is full and ripe, and the whole complexity of the Kimmeridgian limestone resonates through a wonderfully long, saline, oyster-shell finish.

Montmains is one of the premiers crus on the left bank of the Serein, and this comes from a single 0.55-hectare parcel planted in 1971 on a south-east facing slope, certified organic since 2018 and picked entirely by hand. Romain and Damien Bouchard press the fruit gently into small stainless-steel tanks, ferment with indigenous yeasts and let the malolactic run its course, then age the wine for 13 months on its lees in a mix of tank and oak barrel. The 2023 vintage gave Chablis a second fine year in succession, a mild winter and wet spring giving way to summer warmth that carried the grapes to full ripeness with the balance and aromatic complexity of 2022.

In Chablis, Domaine de L'Enclos is a young estate already earning real acclaim. Farmed organically by two brothers, it works the region Kimmeridgian limestone with genuine devotion. This is Chablis made with care, precision, and a modern sensibility.

The brothers favour minimal intervention, using little oak to let the chalk and cool climate speak clearly. Each parcel is treated with respect, capturing the fine detail of the appellation. The result is Chablis of purity and tension.

The range climbs from crisp village Chablis to fine premier cru sites, each tracing the character of its vineyard. Every wine carries the steely, saline signature of the region.

To pour a de L'Enclos wine is to taste Chablis at its most exciting. Cool, mineral, and beautifully precise, these are whites from a name to watch.
