Wine from Chablis

Vinous, 94 points: (VN 92-94 points) The 2018 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru is impressive. Rich, pliant and beautifully layered, the Mont de Milieu is one of the highlights in this range. Perfumed aromatics and silky fruit add to its...

Vinous, 93 points: A wine of tremendous appeal, the 2017 Chablis Butteaux 1er Cru is fleshy and inviting from the very first taste. All the elements simply fall into place effortlessly. Lemon confit, chamomile, dried flowers, mint and...

Vinous, 94 points: The 2017 Chablis Forêts 1er Cru is powerful and explosive, with a captivating mélange of bright citrus fruit and stony mineral-inflected tones. Citrus peel, white flowers, crushed rocks and white pepper add aromatic...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (92+ points) Another of the high points of the range is the 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons Vieilles Vignes, which derives entirely from the Roncières lieu-dit this year, as the domaine's other holdings were frosted...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Billaud-Simon’s 2011 Chablis Preuses – from vines planted in 1952 – displays earthy and intriguing suggestions of urchin roe, musky narcissus, and fresh lemon. Richly-textured yet persistently bright, it draws on the sort...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu was picked on September 16 and 17 and has one of the highest pH at 3.25. The bouquet is well defined with scents of acacia honey and even a little walnut developing with aeration in...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: White peach, apple and baking spice flavors ride the wave of brisk acidity in this finely cut Chablis. Balanced and persistent, with a long, stone- and spice-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2019 through 2025. 410 cases made...

Burghound, 91 points: A very fresh and cool nose features notes of mineral reduction, dried apricot, wet stone and citrus. The intense and beautifully well-detailed flavors possess a silky mouth feel as well as the same stony character...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: The 2015 Chablis 1Er Cru Fourchaume was tight and rather conservative on the nose but gradually opened with light white citrus and honeysuckle scents and later, a hint of lemon curd and apricot. There is something quite...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA 92 - 93 points) Exuberantly sweetly-fruited, the Billaud 2008 Chablis Vaudesir is redolent of and brims with purple plum, pineapple, quince and peach, hauntingly wreathed in gentian and violet perfume. Liquid perfume...

Vinous, 94 points: (VN 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...

Vinous, 90 points: The 2016 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has a generous bouquet with touches of Thai fish oil and Mirabelle accompanying the citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced with a bitter lemon note on the entry. This is quite linear...

Vinous, 91 points: Pale yellow. Tangy, fruit-driven aromas of lemon, pear and white peach. At once dense and juicy; a bomb of white fruits in the mouth but not at all heavy owing to its nicely integrated acidity. Finishes quite firm but not...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos has developed a subtle marine influence on the nose since I tasted it a few months ago. It is well defined and focused with fresh pear and green apple, though maybe the Vaudésir is...
