2017 Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Cru "Mont de Milieu"

Moving on to the penultimate Chardonnay in the lineup, wine E from The Great Chardonnay Tasting was unveiled to be the 2017 Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Cru "Mont de Milieu".
The tasting notes for the wine is the following:
Of all of the wines in our line up, this one was the one that I thought had the most citrus, lemon flavor which lead me to suspect that this was the Chablis. One of our friends at the tasting remarked that having tasted California Chablis, the moniker "Chablis" ruined the flavor of an authentic Chablis for her. I expected a steely, flinty note from the 2017 Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Cru "Mont de Milieu" but the citrus notes were balanced with just a hint of oak, actually not something that I was expecting from a Chablis.
