Wine from Chablis

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2005 Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet is more complex than the Vaillon, unfurling with complex aromas of honeycomb, mandarin oil, fresh mushroom, almond paste and oyster shell. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Dramatic aromas of blanched almonds, beeswax, honey and preserved lemon introduce the 2005 Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys, a full-bodied, textural wine that's rich, concentrated and structured, with a tight-knit core, tangy...

Decanter, 97 points: A ripe and seductive Chablis, coating the mouth with saline notes alongside honeyed apple, delicately interspersed with floral fragrance and a lime and lemon core; energetic and concentrated on the finish. A cut above.

View From The Cellar, 92 points: The 2018 Vaillons here is every bit as refined and zesty as the Montmains. The wine delivers a classy aromatic constellation of apple. pear, citrus zest, a complex base of chalky minerality and a topnote of dried flowers...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Sweet apples and pears with some stone and flint on the nose. Full-bodied with tight, focused phenolics that frame the wine nicely and then layers of fruit and lively acidity. Nicely crafted and composed. Drinkable now...

Vinous, 92 points: The 2017 Chablis Vaillons Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru is another super-appealing wine in this lineup. Floral overtones work so well to play off the natural richness these old vines confer. White flowers, mint and tropical...

Vinous, 92 points: The 2017 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru is forward, open-knit and very easy to enjoy. Passionfruit, mango, white flowers and mint all grace this silky, sumptuous 1er Cru from Samuel Billaud. Soft contours, forward fruit and...

Vinous, 93 points: (91-93 points) (this wine had been racked and returned to fûts; Dauvissat planned to move it into stainless steel in August and bottle it next year): Very pale lemon-yellow color. Reticent but pure scents of minerals and...

View From The Cellar, 96 points: The 2018 les Clos from Domaine Fèvre is yet another absolutely beautiful example of the vintage. The bouquet is pure, precise and already gorgeously complex, offering up scents of pear, apple, beeswax, spring flowers, a...

Burghound, 93 points: (90-93) Touches of the exotic are present in the form of lychee nut, dried apricot and white peach along with hints of petrol and quinine. The succulent and borderline oily medium weight plus flavors possess an abundance...

Decanter, 97 points: This comes from two parcels, facing east and south-west, respectively, making a very tidy 2.5ha in total. Showing the delicate touch of one of the very best winemakers in Chablis, this is a saline, focused, wonderfully...

Decanter, 95 points: This north-facing left bank Premier Cru comes into its own in vintages like 2018. Made from two parcels totally 1ha of 65-year-old vines,it's suitably taut, saline and cool, with none of the heaviness that mars some wines...
