Interesting. I love Montrachet for its predictable behavior and clean
fermentation profile. And I've never had H2S in any batch, much less
one where I used Montrachet.

I do use yeast nutrient where called for, but more often for meads than
wines where the grapes should be providing the nutrient necessary.
