The legendary Guy Robin lineup has evolved into Maison Regain, bringing a sleek label facelift and an injection of world-class cellar talents. By combining Marie-Ange Robin’s crown-jewel Premier Cru holdings with the winemaking prowess of Lucie Depuydt (J. Moreau et Fils), this 2024 Montmains takes the intensity up a notch. Sourced from 1960s plantings on the left bank of the Serein river, it showcases how old-vine fruit and zero-oak manipulation can produce Premier Cru white Burgundy of towering mineral authority.

When we reviewed the lineup at our office, Montmains immediately stood out as the essential mid-term cellaring bottle in the collection. It delivers broad-shouldered mineral weight and chiseled limestone precision without feeling heavy. The palate bursts with lemon curd, acacia flowers, wet stone, and a saline-drenched core that hits with laser focus. Enjoy it over the next 5 to 8 years as its mineral layers continue to uncoil.
