Even in 2023, a more generous vintage across the appellation, yields here came in at just 45 hl\/ha — a reflection of what old vines on a well-farmed site naturally produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMont de Milieu sits on the right bank of the River Serein, and it has a different personality to the left bank crus. More fragrant, more textural, less about brute minerality and more about detail and finesse. Billaud's version leans into that: there's real salinity and mineral crunch underneath, but the nose is stylish and complete, with white fruit and a fleshy quality that gives it immediate appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe palate is vibrant and almost austere in the best sense - the kind of wine that demands another sip before you've finished the first. Chalky, intensely mineral through the finish, with the sort of focused energy that makes you pay attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSerious Chablis at a level that warrants proper cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samuel Billaud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45076138295339,"sku":"2023 Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu","price":219.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2023SamuelBillaudChablis1erCruMontdeMilieu_b16d5a64-ae95-4e05-8227-52b8c8331943.png?v=1789022490","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-samuel-billaud-chablis-1er-cru-mont-de-milieu","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
