(93+points) The 2006 Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet is a superb example of the vintage, offering up aromas of citrus oil, beeswax and oyster shell complemented by subtle hints of clear honey. Medium to full-bodied, satiny...
(91-94 points) There is an interesting, if very subtle, minty character to the ripe, expressive and attractively layered nose of both white and yellow peach, nectarine and iodine along with a plethora of floral elements...
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...
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...
Dried lemons with some flint and tangy acidity. Medium to full body. Fruity finish. Drink now.
Old vines grown on a warm, exposed slope (important in Chablis) give this wine its richness and textured concentration. Ripe apple and tangy lime flavors complement a tight edge that will soften as the wine matures. Drink...
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...
(91-93 points) A ripe yet quite classic nose features notes of mineral reduction, citrus confit, white flower and a suggestion of quinine. The succulent and exceptionally rich medium-bodied flavors possess a seductive...
(90-92 points) The 2018 Chablis Vieilles Vignes Sélection Massale is a fabulous wine with tremendous potential. Deep and exquisitely layered, the 2018 possesses lovely aromatic complexity to play off a core of pliant...
The 2019 Chablis Vieilles Vignes "Sélection Massale" comes from vines over 50 years of age in the lieu-dit of Les Pargues. This has a striking, almost pungent bouquet featuring vivid scents of green apples, gooseberry and...
Billaud-Simon, under the guidance of Olivier Bailly, is a highly consistent producer of classic Chablis. Cool and crisp, there is concentration here allied to vibrant acidity on the palate. A benchmark Chablis which...
93+ The 2018 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru shows more structure and power than the other premiers crus in this range. Phenolic and savory, the 2018 is endowed with a real sense of energy and richness. The 2018 was...
The 2017 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru is vivid, open-knit and super-appealing. Sweet floral and citrus notes lend energy, but it is the wine's nuance and persistence that make the strongest first impression. Even so, the...
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...
(90-92 points) The mildly exotic aromas of yellow orchard fruit, petrol and quinine give way to dense and sappy flavors that also possess fine volume on the powerful, saline and bone-dry finale. This is coming along very...
A whiff of oyster shell draws you in, joined by flavors of peach, melon, yellow plum, honey and mineral. Balanced and bright, with a long finish, shows fine Chablis character. Drink now through 2024. – BS
92+ Monsieur Billaud’s parcel in Vaillons also hails from his 2014 purchase of some of his family’s former plots, and these vines are also seventy years of age. I often think of Vaillons as one of the terroirs that...
Clean and concentrated, this is a bright and spicy Chablis with chalky chamomile scents and buttery flavors with a prickle of lime. It’s young and needs a year or two of bottle age for those flavors to deepen.
A lifted intensity of lemon and hazelnut on this wine's subtle nose promises concentration. The palate presents lemon zestiness and a yeasty texture that seems to fizz with freshness. It has lemony resonance...
The grandest of the Chablis Grand Crus has produced a structured, still very young, wine. With its ripe apple and Bartlett pear fruit and tight, chalky mineral texture, it will be impressive once it unwinds. Drink from...
Cooling, mossy chalkiness plays on this wine's nose, despite the heat of 2018. The palate then displays juicy roundness in the form of ripe, yellow pear pervading chalky depth. Rich lemon-peel notes create contour and add...
(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...
(92-94 points) A subtle but still noticeable application of wood surrounds the elegant mix of white peach, apricot, sea breeze, floral and shellfish scented nose where a hint of phenolic character appears. The dense...
(92-94 points) Tasted from tank just prior to bottling, the 2017 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru shows why this vintage is so compelling. Apricot, peach and tropical fruit give the 2017 a decidedly exotic flair, and yet bright...

- Mark D., September 2021 “One of the easiest sites to shop on for wine I have seen. Prices including shipping and taxes are clearly shown before ever entering the checkout area. The suggestions of other wines you may like were pretty spot on based on the wine I had already selected for my cart. Will for sure be purchasing wine again from JJ Buckley!”.
