Chardonnay: 750ml

about this wine:

Green-gold, evolving to a light yellow with age, this is a wine with fine ageing properties (10-15 years, sometimes more). Intense mineral scents (flint) but with notes of lime-flowers, dried and exotic fruits, almond and a discreet touch of honey. On the palate, acidity and fat are in perfect balance, as are liveliness and dryness. It has all the charm of an inimitable and authentic wine. This is the jewel in the crown of the Chablis range, richly nuanced by variations in "climat."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2009

When opportunity arose for Pethel to acquire a contract on old vines in Les Preuses, he knew he had to make the extra effort - in this one instance - to work outside of his Cote d'Or base. Pethel said, in so far as he took lessons in the art of Chablis, it was from Raveneau, and his 2007 Chablis Preuses testifies not just to his having learned them well, but to the wisdom of his decision to work with these vines. Explosively aromatic in its bouquet of iris, buddleia, apple blossom, white peach, fresh lime and nutmeg, this memorable reflection of a great site boasts a creamy, buoyant palate on which scallop-like sweet, saline savor mingles with essence of peach, lime, and liquid floral perfume. Here is an uncanny alliance of the richness that typified 2006 with the refreshment and transparency that bespeak 2007, so that salt, crushed stone, crustacean shells, herbs, citrus zest, and fruit pits seem to shimmer through a pure pool of liquid perfume in a finish somehow at once caressing and invigorating. I suspect this will remain glorious for more than a decade.

About Winery

There are not a lot of Americans who are led by their passion to become winemakers in Burgundy. Blair Pethel stumbled across this passion by chance in the late 1980s with his first trip to the region.

He worked a harvest in 1999 and moved there permanently with his family in 2003, and started making wine in 2004, after qualifying in viticulture and oenology with a year's course at the famous Lycée Viticole of Beaune. He apprenticed with several top winemakers -- Patrice Rion in Premeaux-Prissey and Jean-Marc Pillot in Chassagne-Montrachet, to name two -- and thanks to them learned to work both the vines and the wine with care and respect.

The estate at this point is very small, but its wines are not. All Domaine Dublère's wines demonstrate that it's not necessary to be big to be extraordinary.
