A Classic Premier Cru Chablis from One of the Right Bank's Most Respected Slope Sites

My Wine Man on Domaine Gautheron. Mont de Milieu is one of Chablis' most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards — a south-facing slope on the right bank of the Serein river, renowned for producing wines of exceptional mineral intensity, floral complexity, and the kind of steely, chalky precision that defines great Chablis at its finest. Domaine Gautheron's expression is a benchmark: cold fermentation in tank, no oak ageing, extended lees contact — an approach that lets the terroir speak without interference.

Tasting Notes

Bright pale gold with a green tinge. The nose is expressive and floral — white blossom, lemon zest, and green apple, with a distinctive chalky, oyster-shell minerality that is the unmistakable signature of Kimmeridgian limestone. On the palate, full-flavoured and intense with a dry, mineral core, vibrant natural acidity, and a long, precise finish where mineral characteristics abound.

Food Pairing

A classic Kimmeridgian Premier Cru like this thrives with pristine shellfish. We love it with Hokkaido Sashimi-Grade Sea Scallops from My Meat Man — seared in brown butter with lemon or served raw with ponzu, the sweet plump scallops are a magnificent match for the wine's oyster-shell minerality and bright Mont de Milieu acidity.

Why This Is a Smart Buy

Premier Cru Chablis from a dedicated family estate — no oak, no compromise, just pure Kimmeridgian limestone terroir — at HK$279 is outstanding value for a wine of this precision and provenance.
