  1. William Fevre Chablis Preuses 2020
    William Fevre Chablis Preuses 2020
    Aromas of quinine, essence of wet stone and seashore add breadth to the nose of pear, apple and anise. Once again there is fine density and intensity to the mouth coating medium weight flavors that flash outstanding length on the bracingly saline suffused finale. This has already develop very good depth and more will also surely develop. This is potentially outstanding. "Don't Miss" BURGHOUND

  2. Domaine Vrignaud Chablis Fourchaume Cotes de Fontenay 2015 1er
    Domaine Vrignaud Chablis Fourchaume Cotes de Fontenay 2015 1er

    FIVE STARS - The fruit of old vines (1955) with little bunches, vinified and matured in stainless steel for a later bottling. This has benefitted from its longer elevage. This plot often delivers a slightly smoky character and I can see threads of this drifting in and out of the white fruit. He finds the style quite different, richer fruit but also smoky. I like this and the energy at the back is very good. It can become reduced so he needs to keep well aerated JASPER MORRIS MW

    The 2015 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru has a tightly wound, rather floral bouquet with yellow flower scents infiltrating the citrus fruit and green apple scents. The palate is crisp and fresh with bitter lemon on the entry, with satisfying weight in the mouth. It has a lively, quite spicy and rich finish that leaves a dab of lemongrass on the aftertaste. Enjoy this Fourchaume over several years. NEAL MARTIN, Drink 2017 - 2024

    The 2015 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru has a buttoned-down bouquet: granite and flint, a touch of apricot blossom and lemon curd loitering in the background. This takes you directly to Chablis and nowhere else. The palate is very well balanced with a crisp line of acidity, just the right amount of malic, green apple edginess combined with lemon zest to lend this Fourchaume tension from start to finish, with a dab of spice on the aftertaste. I enjoyed this Fourchaume when I tasted it blind last year and again twelve months later. It might be even better next time! WINE ADVOCATE

    Delicate nose of green pea and lime. Medium-bodied but intense on the palate, with fine acidity and a marked linear character showing great clarity of fruit. Mineral and tangy on the long, citric finish. DECANTER - drink 2018 - 2026

  3. William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2021
    William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2021

    DON’T MISS – This too could be from nowhere else other than Chablis with its combination of strong mineral reduction, cool citrus, shellfish and iodine. The dense, opulent and powerful large-bodied flavors brim with dry extract that imparts a sappy texture to the lemony and massively long finish. Not surprisingly for a classic Les Clos, this super effort is very much built-to-age and a wine that I would advise not touching for at least 6 to 8 years first. BURGHOUND

    WORTH A SPECIAL SEARCH - 4.10 ha, principally the higher section but some lower towards Grenouilles – mainly planted before 1950 by that father of Willaim Fevre. Always the only wine in this – or pretty much any line-up of great Chablis that makes me think – Chevalier-Montrachet – but this year I see Chablis! Extra breadth to this aroma – almost a hybrid of the previous two wines – but then it changes gear, floral and mega-impressive – wow – I almost don’t need to drink it! Okay, for science ?? : This is not the most forceful or incisive but it has a mouth-filling fluidity that infuses the senses. (Almost) always a wine apart and it is certainly that in 2021 – undisputedly great – bravo! BILL NANSON, The Burgundy Report

    La Chablisienne Chablis La Pierrelee 2020
    The 2020 Chablis La Pierrelée has a reserved gunflint bouquet that is quite penetrating for a Village Cru. The palate is well balanced with plenty of energy and quite saline in the mouth. An attractive sour lemon note appears toward the finish. Well-made and delicious. NEAL MARTIN, vinous.com

    Nutty mineral nose with ripe apple and a hint of honey. Tense backbone of acidity. Stony style with lovely length. Decanter Magazine

  5. Louis Michel Chablis Montee de Tonnerre 2021 1er
    Louis Michel Chablis Montee de Tonnerre 2021 1er
    SWEET SPOT, OUTSTANDING - This is also exuberantly floral in character with its cool and more elegant aromas of citrus, oyster shell, spice and wet stone. The sleeker if perhaps not quite as dense medium weight flavors possess an even finer texture while flashing focused power on the balanced and sneaky long finish. Once again, better depth would help but this beauty seems to have excellent development potential. BURGHOUND

    WORTH A SPECIAL SEARCH - More open and citrus in the top notes - becoming extra floral too - the most forward of aromatics - so far. Gorgeous in the mouth - not the widest but the wine of most fluid expression - clarity, faintly textured with silk - and a top finish - bravo! BILL NANSON

  6. Jean Defaix Chablis Les Lys 2022 1er
    Jean Defaix Chablis Les Lys 2022 1er
    Pretty and ripe yet airy aromas are comprised by notes of acacia blossom, quinine, pear and a whiff of tidal pool character. The elegant, refined and appealingly punchy flavors possess good delineated in the context of the 2022 vintage, all wrapped in a clean, dry and lightly citrus-inflected finale. This could be approached young but since it could use better depth, a few years of keeping should prove beneficial. BURGHOUND

  7. La Chantemerle Chablis Fourchaume 2022 1er
    La Chantemerle Chablis Fourchaume 2022 1er
    This is the best value 1er cru Chablis you will find in the country, hands down. But let's not just dwell on the value as that undersells the quality of this wine. This is a decent step up on the AC coming from vines averaging around 40 years of age. More intensity and focus here, but in the same mould as its little brother. A little punchier too as a rule with a lovely spear of acidity giving the wine a real sense of energy and carrying with it that mineral snap we love. ALEX DOBSON

  8. Billaud-Simon Chablis 2021
    Billaud-Simon Chablis 2021
    An assembly of many parcels (left and right bank vines) including some purchased must to augment the domaine’s right-bank vines – but a little over 4 hectares worth. Mainly tank elevage with just a few barrels. 12 months elevage – Tete d’Or has longer elevage with more barrel elevage.
    Classic oyster-shell, iodine, aromatics – super. A hint more impact and density – less dynamic but silkier and more intense – not quite brooding but gorgeously flavoured. This you could enjoy over the next 20 years  – I would. Bravo!. BILL NANSON, Burgundy Report

    Billaud-Simon Chablis Tete d'Or 2021
    Parcel selections – ‘a skeleton of parcels that are always used and always better and the rest are selected from some other areas depending on the vintage to make the best cuvée’ – a little wood including some new large-format barrels – 500 and 600-litres.

    The nose remains something of the sea, not of the barrel forest – becoming more and more perfumed too. Broader, perhaps more visible muscle, super texture again and growing in intensity, almost a fant finishing phenolic too. Bravo! BILL NANSON, Burgundy Report

  10. Agnes et Didier Dauvissat Chablis 2022
    Agnes et Didier Dauvissat Chablis 2022

    The 2022 Chablis Village, matured in stainless steel for 6 to 12 months, has a sprightly and energetic bouquet with citrus peel and Granny Smiths. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, crisp malic fruit. There’s just the right amount of tension and salinity on the finish to keep you coming back for more. Bravo. NEAL MARTIN

    5.5 ha of Chablis in total – this representing 3 of those hectares in Fyé, almost a continuation of Blanchots. A more linear nose with extra herbed notes. Broader, slightly more incisive and structural – still melting over the palate – here with lots of salinity and a long, tasty, finish. This to wait for – 1-2 years – it’s very good and it’s classic Chablis! BILL NANSON

    An intriguing example which marries weight and concentration on the palate with bright acidity and a distinct mineral edge. This will appeal to lovers of classic Chablis but also those looking for a bit more generosity of fruit. Long finish, with a saline tang. DECANTER

    Agnes et Didier Dauvissat Petit Chablis 2022

    WORTH A SPECIAL SEARCH - An assembly of parcels, on either side of the plateau of Beines, near Vauligneau and above the grand crus...The first sniff is modest, the second and the wine has already opened and added some perfume – nice. Hmm – lovely minerality over the palate – juicy and melting with a nice structure – this is just too delicious and slightly floral in the finish – this already drinking beautifully – bravo! BILL NANSON

    A fine example of Petit Chablis, with crisp acidity to complement the pear and peach fruit on the palate. Slightly peppery, with a hint of bitterness adding freshness and complexity on the finish. Will drink well for several years. DECANTER

  12. Christophe et Fils Chablis VV 2022
    Christophe et Fils Chablis VV 2022
    The 2022 Chablis 'Vieilles Vignes' is a wine produced from 60 year old vines planted by Sebastien Christophe's grandfather in the commune of Fontenay-près-Chablis.
    It is absolutely top form again in 2022, with lovely cut and tang that sets it apart from the AC Chablis and it always has a little more depth and concentration too. This, as always, is superb, concentrated Chablis from Sébastien Christophe that is of 1er Cru intensity and complexity. ANDREW GUARD
