WineSaint
Crushed oyster shell, pressed flower and a briny sea-air lift on the nose, this opens beautifully with aeration, gaining clarity and focus as it breathes. White peach and orange zest carry the mid-palate with precision, then the wine pivots toward something more tropical: passion fruit, a thread of fresh pineapple, before snapping back to pure, stony mineral on the finish. Taut and impeccably balanced, it never loses its Chablis identity despite the generosity of the vintage. Superb Montmains.
