Montmains is a Premier Cru vineyard in Chablis, which stretches along an exposed hillside to the southwest of the town of Chablis itself. It is renowned for producing fresh, elegant wines with good minerality. Maud and her family believe in the ethos of organic farming along with that of minimal intervention; all of their vineyards are farmed organically. The Double Guyot-trained vines have an average age of 45 years and are grown in Kimmeridgian soils, which are rich in clay and limestone with fossilized seashells. The vines are planted at a density of 5,700 vines per hectare and yields are kept to a maximum of 55 hectolitres per hectare. Maud believes in highlighting terroir and she produces her wines in an unoaked style, allowing them to reveal the purity, minerality, and vitality of the soil.

Winery | Domaine Jean Goulley was formed in 1986 by Jean Goulley and is now run by his granddaughter Maud. In January 2022, Maud took over from her father Philippe, who was involved in the estate for nearly 40 years. The family owns 4.5 hectares in the Premier Cru appellations, which are the heart and soul of the Domaine. They own approximately 18 hectares in total. In 1991, Domaine became one of the very first certified organic producers in Chablis. All of the vineyards are farmed organically and the wines are produced with restricted use of sulphur. The Goulley family believes that organic farming methods permit expressive and sustainable soil. Their wines are mineral, pure, and lively. |
