The Story
Simonnet-Febvre remains one of the oldest and most traditional Chablis producers in the region.
This vineyard is located on the right bank of the Serein River. 'Mont de Milieu' takes its name from its historical role as the boundary between the former duchies of Burgundy and Champagne. This renowned Premier Cru benefits from a location similar to that of the nearby Grand Crus, with a South to south-Easterly exposure. This orientation provides higher than average temperatures and extended sunlight, contributing to consistently high quality.
