Notes from Rosenthal Wine Merchants:

"Jean Dauvissat, and his son Sebastian, are the most recent in an extended line of the Dauvissat family that has been in possession of this notable domaine since 1899.

The 'Montmains' site is an extension of the 1er Cru 'Les Forets' towards the northeast of the 1er Cru slope. In this instance, the soil has a higher percentage of clay in the mix which produces a more full-bodied wine, strict and structured, marked by earthier notes to the nose and on the palate. The Dauvissats own about one and one-quarter hectares of vineyards within 'Montmains'."
