Though the 2018 Grenouilles from Domaine Louis Michel is as ripe as the Vaudésir, it seems just a tad less tropical in personality, as it delivers a refined bouquet of apple, fresh lime, chalky minerality, beeswax, dried...

Gentle aromas of acacia, white peach, lemon curd and wet stone, followed by creamy mango on the palate. It’s medium-to full-bodied with crisp acidity. Flavorful with smooth, generous layers of fruit. Drink or hold.

(92-94 points) The 2018 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru is wonderfully complex and nuanced. Spice, dried flowers, tangerine and hazelnut overtones add shades of dimension throughout. The 2018 is generous and plush, but also...

The richness of oak expresses itself as the scent of roasted hazelnut on this wine's nose. Smooth and rounded, the palate can handle the oaky resonance that sets the tone. An edge of honey is balanced by lemony...

(90-93 points) A slightly fresher and equally cool nose combines notes of white peach, pear, citrus and lovely floral wisps, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is slightly more volume to the...

(90-93 points) Lovely pale lemon, much more nose here than the straight Meursault, fresh lemon and verbena, significant oak in the background, with excellent length.

The 2018 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru is dense and rich in the glass. Tropical fruit, hazelnut, mint, lemon peel and chamomile infuse the 2018 with notable character. This is one of the richer, deeper, more plush wines in the...

(90-93 points) A similar nose save for being a bit more elegant precedes the rich, vibrant and finer medium-bodied flavors that possess notably better delineation and especially so on the beautifully long and complex...

Dried lemons with some flint and tangy acidity. Medium to full body. Fruity finish. Drink now.

The ripe layer of Sémillon in this wine gives richness, a creamed-apple character and plenty of aging potential. The second white wine of Domaine de Chevalier, it is ripe, wood aged and generous in fruitiness. Drink the...

The domaine has two parcels of Vaudésir, both of which face north and are correspondingly cool. Picked late for a top 2018 because of its terroir, this is an elegant, focused white that's unadorned by oak, showing stony...

There's a slight spritz to this at first, which blows off to reveal a relatively big version, superexpressive and balanced, showing exotic notes of shaved ginger and coriander, followed by a mix of candied pear, baked...

The 2018 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru does not muck about on the nose and delivers quite a potent, marine-influenced nose of shucked oyster shells mixed with a distant tang of kelp. Wonderful. The palate is very well...

The nose on this wine conveys both dried and fresh lemon peel, some smoky reduction and wet chalk. On the palate, cool concentration homes in on a ripe but tingling notion of lemon zest. Earthiness anchors this all along...

(93-95 points) Pale yellow. The nose has considerable weight, a little flesh but also some class. Some peaches too. This overt opulence however gives way to a more classic thread behind. There is a saline touch, which...

Louis Moreau farms 52 acres in the villages of Beines and Chablis, most of his parcels on sandy clay. He ferments this wine in stainless steel without added yeasts, then ages it on the fine lees. In 2018, he achieved a...

(93-95 points) Fine pale lemon, this has a racy yet full bouquet, generous but chiselled fruit, with some lemon citrus notes dancing around the central core of deep white fruit. Not quite so concentrated towards the back...

(96-98 points) Classy hints of pencil shavings accent the pear, nectarine and melon fruit in the full-bodied, voluptuous 2018 Ermitage de l'Orée. Despite the wine's ample richness and weight, it's surprisingly fresh and...

A killer wine as always, the 2018 Saint Joseph Les Granits Blanc reveals a medium gold color as well as powerful notes of white currants, toasted spices, brioche, quince, and crushed rock. With beautiful richness, medium...

Matchstick, lemon, apple and baking spice flavors are fused to a bracing structure in this red. Gives up a little iodine accent on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 220 cases imported. — BS

(89-91 points) Ripe aromas are comprised mostly by notes of poached pear, petrol and rosemary oil. There is once again good punch and detail if only average density to the delicious and relatively refined flavors that...

Beautiful aromas of lime curd, dried pear, grilled white peach and flint on the nose. So exotic on the nose. Some cream and honey, too. It’s medium-bodied with bright, tangy acidity. Creamy and focused with lingering...

Hint of wet walnut skin and flint are subtle but distinct on the slightly reduced nose of this wine. The palate immediately poses a thick layer of chalk with airy, salty depth. Fruit almost does not come into it. This...
