Domaine Thierry Laffay


The 2021's


A note on the 2021’s: The 2021 Laffay’s are a blast from the classically styled Chablis of the 1970’s with lower alcohols, cutting acidity with wonderful transparency, complexed by balanced & intriguing funky reduction. Tank fermented & aged with the exception of the Grand Cru Vaudésir. They have excellent development with freshness, no puppy fat. Some wise winemaking clearly at play. These make for a great comparison with the richer 2020’s. A matter of celebrating the differences between the two years, & enjoying two styles with the same overarching philosophy of making grape-first wines of energy & personality.


The 2020's


Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy

Domaine Thierry Laffay Chablis Vielles Vignes 2020

Showing exactly how important vine age is! A step up, an extra zip of salty acid and that mid palate weight with excellent length. Florals, white stone fruit a little citrus pith and plenty of fun. That slight primary edge that disappeared as it opened revealing excellent depth and length with restraint. A little more complexity. Mid palate texture is excellent. Hazelnuts and an extra layer of pleasure here. Excellent.

Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy

Domaine Thierry Laffay Chablis 1er ‘Côte de Lechet’ 2020

Sitting between the Vaillons and Mont de Milieu in terms of richness and minerality Delicacy, laced and fine, perfumed, elegant and long, a little primary would be interesting to see what a little time in old wood would do for this. The salinity is back in force. Tighter it will need bottle age to show it’s best. The phenolics / acid complex will take time. Everything is there waiting to come together and give a little patience you will be in a very happy place.

Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy

Domaine Thierry Laffay Chablis 1er ‘Mont de Milieu’ 2020

The richest of the 1ers! Richer and more out to play there’s plenty of fruit drive here. Honeyed, a little nutty with maple at play, crème patissere. Generosity from this warmer site is tempered by a line of acid. That long ferment mid-palate with a little baking spice, pop of cracked yeast. Long.

Domaine Thierry Laffay Chablis Grand Cru ‘Vaudesir’ 2020

The Laffay’s own 26 ares in the Grand Cru Vaudésir. 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 often mature later. Vaudésir contains a significant amount of clay. The subsoil remains classic, how
