Fevre Chablis Grand Cru / Les Preuses 2021

Patrick Piuze Bourgogne Tonnerre Les Boutots is a white wine from the Burgundy region of France. It's known for its crisp and refreshing taste with subtle notes of citrus and minerality

IntroductionThe 2022 Domaine Thierry Hamelin Petit Chablis is a distinguished white wine from the Burgundy region of France. Crafted by Domaine Thierry Hamelin, this wine exemplifies the fresh and mineral-driven characteristics typical of Petit Chablis. TerroirSourced from vineyards around the village of Lignorelles, on the edge of the Chablis vineyards, the vines thrive in clay and limestone soils. The region's cool climate and unique Kimmeridgian subsoil contribute to the wine's crisp acidity and distinctive minerality. AppearanceVivid, light gold yellow color with a slight hint of green, indicating its freshness and youth. NoseExpressive aromas of white flowers tending towards iodine, reflecting its aromatic complexity. PalateRounded with a touch of minerality, soft with good length of finish. The palate offers a harmonious blend of freshness and subtle complexity. FinishA clean, refreshing finish with lingering notes of minerality and white flowers, leaving a satisfying aftertaste.

Defaix’s village Chablis is drawn from four parcels of mature, 30-plus-year-old vines situated around Milly and Poinchy on the left bank of the Serein River. The wine ferments spontaneously and ages on fine lees for 10 months in glass-lined tanks. Compared to the wine above, the older vines translate to more character, depth and classical restraint—not to mention supersized minerality and ozone salinity. It’s a ripe, poised and vibrantly fresh Chablis with juicy nectarine, mixed citrus fruit and stony, pithy freshness running the length of the palate. A terrific, super seductive Chablis and another outstanding-value wine from Domaine Bernard Defaix.

Domaine Hamelin Chablis - 375ml, 2023

Domaine Servin Chablis VV / Selection Massale

Powerful and sophisticated nose, with a hint of nuts, toast and vanilla beans. Expressive palate, full and supple. A wine with minerality, an elegant touch of oak, and a beautiful, long finish. For a meal, it marries perfectly with line-caught sea.

Piuze’s Chablis La Grande Vallée offers aromas of pear, oyster shell, lemon oil and spring flowers. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, taut and incisive, with a pure and crisp core of fruit and an energetic profile, marked by plenty of classically Chablisien marine notes on its long finish. The vineyard is located on the left bank of the Serein river, below the Montmains premier cru, right below Les Forêts on a 1.8 hectare parcel (4.4 acres) within the original historic AOC Chablis boundaries. Patrick only sources wine from the original 12th century Chablis boundaries, which means that all his cuvees hail from the celebrated Kimmeridgian limestone—a unique terroir rich in fossils, prized for creating stony, complex Chardonnays.

This relatively young estate, founded in just 2011, is making prototype Chablis from their 30 hectares of vines. This one sees no oak and showcases the bright and mineralic side of Chardonnay. Look for notes of ripe citrus, green apple, flowers, and flinty minerality.
