Situation : On the right bank of the Serein, the Mont de Milieu is so named because it separated the dukedoms of the Burgundy and the Champagne region in the past. This famous Premier Cru benefits from a similar location of its Grand Cru neighbours: a South/ South Easterly exposure. This exposure guarantees the Mont de Milieu a higher average temperature and longer hours of sunshine with a certainty of quality.

Tasting and food pairings : This is a mineral and complex wine of a high quality level. It is dry, firm and austere and hence it needs to be aged for a while. When the wine has been aged it develops more aromas such as: candied fruits, vanilla, hazelnuts, toasted bread, with buttery notes and hints of tobacco.
