Domaine Bessin-Tremblay Chablis 1er Cru 'Fourchaume La Pièce au Comte' 2022
Named after the aristocrat who was once the landlord of this parcel, La Pièce au Comte was the Tremblays’ first vineyard holding in Chablis. Covering a single hectare, it lies in the heart of Fourchaume, and until 2014, its oldest vines were 80 years old (having been planted in 1934). These vines have since been replanted with mass-selection cuttings, although the remainder still date from the 1950s. Romain Bessin explains that the vines here suffer from court-noué, which causes a decline

Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Premier Cru 'Vaulorent' 2020
This Climat is almost an extension of the slopes where the Grands Crus grow, with only a small path separating them. Sitting directly alongside Les Preuses, the proximity to its illustrious neighbours results in powerful, mineral wines.The restrained and layered nose makes clear that this could be from nowhere else but Chablis with its aromas of algae, iodine, oyster shell and spiced pear. The texture of the medium weight flavors is also sleek and intense with slightly better density to

Jean-Paul et Benôit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet 2022
This is also quite smoky in character with its nose of citrus confit, pear, apple and ocean breeze scents. The generously proportioned but quite punchy medium-bodied flavors possess a lovely texture while exuding evident minerality on the sappy, balanced, complex and solidly persistent finale.

Jean-Paul et Benôit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu 2022
A ripe ever-so-vaguely exotic nose is comprised by notes of cool green apple, oyster shell and lemon rind. There is both excellent volume and mid-palate density to the intense and solidly powerful larger-bodied flavors that possess impeccable balance and fine depth on the harmonious, long and more complex finale. This is excellent and should age accordingly. Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-94 Points

Jean-Paul et Benôit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet 2023
A plenitude of citrus influences are present on the more obviously Chablis-like nose of algae, tidal pool and wet stone scents. There is a bit more volume and richness to the bigger-bodied flavors that exude evident minerality on the slightly warm finish that is supported by bitter lemon-tinged acidity. This isn't as refined as the Vaucoupin but offers slightly better depth. Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-91 Points

Domaine Thierry Laffay Chablis Grand Cru 'Vaudesir' 2019
The Laffay’s own 26 ares in the Grand Cru Vaudésir. We were offered a tiny allocation of this; none of their Bourgros as they could not make any in 2019. Vaudésir is one of the seven Chablis Grand Cru appellations. Nestled in a natural amphitheater, it covers 15.4 hectares. It benefits from a double exposure similar to that of Valmur. The south-facing slope, which lies in a small sheltered valley, provides optimal ripening conditions. The north-facing slope, however, is cooler and the grapes

Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Premier Cru 'Montée de Tonnerre' 2020
With a geological structure similar to the Grands Crus and excellent exposure, this terroir is considered one of the best Premiers Crus. The wine is both full and rich yet can also show its mineral and floral characteristics.The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is a terrific success, unfurling in the glass with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, confit citrus and oatmeal. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and complete, it’s fleshy and seamless, with fine depth at the cor

Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru 'Montée de Tonnerre' 2022
Montée de Tonnerre has a sandy, rocky topsoil, rich in Kimmeridgian limestone. The one-hectare parcel that gifts this wine is situated within the lieu-dit of Chapelot, which is separated from the Grand Cru Blanchot by a narrow ravine. The vines cover two continuous plots: one aged 50 years; and a second parcel recently replanted. This is regularly the most mineral, chalky, deep and powerful 1er Cru Chablis in the range. It is also one of the most limited.

Domaine Bessin-Tremblay Chablis Grand Cru 'Valmur' 2022
The domaine holds two priceless hectares in Valmur, which makes it (we’re guessing) one of the largest holders of this Grand Cru, which sits between Grenouilles and Les Clos. With the 1934 plantings in La Pièce au Comte now replanted, Valmur houses the domaine’s oldest vines, planted in 1947, along with some vines planted between 1962 and 1974 and another parcel between 1995 and 2000. Just as significant is the exposure: Bessin’s parcel lies on the southern side of the Grand Cru, in

Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru 'Valmur' 2020
With its terroir split into two parts on either side of the Sainte Vaubourg fountain path, it has slightly deeper clay-limestone soils than the other Grands Crus. Its shape is reminiscent of a small valley hence the name “Valmur”.Unwinding in the glass with aromas of peach, lemon oil, freshly baked bread, oyster shell and struck match, Fèvre’s 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur is full-bodied, concentrated and incisive, with a racy, electric profile and a searingly saline, intensely
