Great article Alison. Clear and easy to understand explanations about the terroir and soil composition. The lovely photos and stories were a bonus. After my 2006 Chevalerie and seeing this, I will have to hunt for a grand Mont!
Thank you for reading and the thoughtful comment, Jacob! So glad you enjoyed. ☺️ I love the wines from Domaine de la Chevalerie too. They are just so epic. Especially with some age. I hope you can track down some more examples from this special vineyard. If you do, be sure to let me know what you think! 😁
What a great in-depth look at one of my fav lieu-dits for Cab Franc! Bonus points for maps and pictures! Would be really interesting to taste a line up of Grand Monts specifically chosen to come from different parts of the lieu-dit 🤔
Thank you, Tom! I’m a sucker for maps too. I would love to try a bunch of examples from the vineyard, I think ideally with a bit of age to get a sense of the terroir. Perhaps something to plan for down the road! 😃
Ah, I suppose you’re right. It depends on where in the US. But definitely you’ll be able to find them in France for sure. I think a Grand Mont tasting party is definitely in order! 😁

Wonderful essay -- maps and photos!
Thank you Michael! I appreciate you taking the time to read and for your thoughtful comment! 😊
So easy to find in France; so difficult to find in the US. Must get back there and try all these!! Maybe my next tasting party??
