Over its long history it expanded holdings into the Chablis region, applying its winemaking philosophy to northern terroirs. Under ownership by Bollinger, Chanson has invested in vineyard renewal and cellar upgrades, enabling its Chablis premiers crus (such as Montmains) to reflect both traditional style and modern precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eProduced by Chanson Père \u0026amp; Fils, the winemaking team sources fruit from the Montmains climat in Chablis’s premier cru zone. They emphasize low intervention, precise sorting, controlled fermentations, and appropriate oak or tank aging. Their objective is to balance freshness, minerality, and complexity while allowing the site’s flinty character to emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eMontmains is a premier cru climate in Chablis, located on mid-slope facing south or southeast exposures, with Kimmeridgian marl and limestone soils. These soils provide drainage, mineral complexity, and reflective heat. The climate is cool continental with maritime influence; the nights are cold, helping retain acidity, and vintage variation is significant in this northern latitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIn 2022, fermentation was conducted with temperature control (natural fermentation up to ~13 °C) and the wine was aged in stainless steel for 11 months (no heavy oak). Some producers add light lees stirring, gentle fining, and minimal filtration to preserve clarity and minerality. Montmains wines are usually vinified in stainless or neutral vessels to highlight freshness and flint over wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003ePale gold color with greenish hues.
