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...

(90-93 points) A timid nose grudgingly offers up its aromas of citrus rind, oyster shell, petrol and tidal pool. There is very good freshness and energy to the solidly concentrated middle weight flavors that possess...

(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...

Fevre's Montée de Tonnerre comes from all three sectors. Seguier notes that Pied d'Aloup has the highest marn content, Montée de Tonnerre adds weight and the old Chapelot vines (planted in 1936) add finesse. More closed...

(92-94 points) The 2018 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru brings together all the best elements of the house style. Brisk and inviting with terrific energy, the Preuses has so much to offer. Like the Vaillons Vieilles Vignes...

(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...

(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...

The 2017 Chablis Tête d'Or is fabulous. Silky, elegant and beautifully perfumed, the 2017 is all class. White flowers, mint and pear are some of the many notes that grace the 2017, but what impresses most is the wine's...

(90-92 points) The 2021 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru comes from 3.80-hectares within the three climats, one-third each, and is generally a late-ripening cuvée. The aromatics were very primal on the nose with touches of...

Fevre's Vaulorent is just a little more precise on the nose. Seguier says it is always elegant, always fresh. Fevre's take on this renowned premier cru has an understated nose yet you can feel the power within. Lovely...

(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...

(91-94 points) From old vines of around 60-65 years on average. Fresh pale colour with a light green tint. Clear pale colour, slightly smoky, good volume of fruit, the smoke coming out in the mouth as reduction on the...

(91-93 points) William Fevre have just over a hectare consisting of three plots at the Beauroy end of Troëmes, where the grapes need to be picked early. 30% currently under wood after vinification. Very elegant, quite...

(90-93 points) Moderately generous wood along with vanilla hints fights slightly with the ripe and dense aromas of mostly white orchard fruit, honeysuckle and soft shellfish nuances. There is impressive size, weight and...

(94-96 points) The 2021 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru comes from 2.5-hectares split over two parcels. This has one of my favourite aromatics from Fèvre this year with superb delineation and mineralité. The palate is...

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.

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...

(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...

It may be from one of the least well-known of the Chablis 1er Cru sites, but this is a beautiful wine that combines creamy elegance with chalky and licorice character. Complex mouth-feel at the long, chalky finish that...

Cool, pure and elegant aromas are comprised mostly by white orchard fruit, iodine and citrus rind. The caressing and generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel while offering solid...

(90-93 points) This is a blend from across the wider Vaillons appellation with two plots in Séchets, two in Chatains, one each in Mélinots and Roncières. Currently all is in tank but some will spend a bit of time in wood...

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

(90-92 points) 80% from L’Homme Mort and 20% Côte de Fontenay. Pale primrose. Lightly smoky on top of the usual welcoming soft fruit. Vibrant energetic fruit behind, thinking about a pyrazine, which keeps it fresh. There...

A subtle, flinty note of reduction gives way to creamy, chalky lemon on this wine's appetizing nose. The palate then sweeps in with unexpected juiciness and ripeness from the hot summer. A leesy, chalky texture lends...

This is exactly what we expect a Chablis 1er Cru to be. It’s chalky and well structured, but bright and refreshing, the winemaking taking a back-seat to the oyster-shell and fresh lemon-peel character. Delightful balance...
