“Ooh – here is volume and an inviting depth of aroma – and very Meursault too. Rich but mobile, becoming juicier as you head into the finish. That’s a great little Bourgogne – give it an extra chill if you want more tension! Great finishing.” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
One of the greatest Bourgogne-level whites we know, this comes from just over a single hectare spread across five parcels—all in Meursault and all alongside village-level vineyards. These parcels are Sous la Velle, En l’Ormeau, Les Herbeux, Les Lameroses and La Monatine. The average age of the vines is 20 years. Further, the 2020 includes two barrels of wine from declassified young vines (2015) in Saint-Aubin’s 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard. It’s a gorgeously open, fleshy, deep Bourgogne that could so easily be mistaken for Meursault; it bears all the great appellation’s hallmarks.

Medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave, with a deep, multidimensional core of fruit, racy acids and chalky structuring extract, it concludes […]
Add to cart Producer: Henri GermainFrom ten small parcels of 20-60 year old vines. Les Tremblot, (“more Puligny in character, as the soil is argileous,” says Jean-Louis); Les Meix, Les Levrons (more rounded wine for there are more stones and gravel here and it is not so heavy), Corvée des Vignes and Les Reuchaux. These small vineyard holdings are all […]
Add to cart Producer: Jean-Louis ChavyScrewcap. Unusually for a Petit Chablis, which generally comes from the lower-lying sites on Portlandian limestone, the lion’s share of this cuvée is drawn from a parcel of Kimmeridgian-based soil. Yet it’s not necessarily the type of limestone but more the location that makes the difference. The small Defaix parcel is well situated on the […]
Add to cart Producer: Bernard Defaix“Complete harmony, a certain amount of nuance, lifted finish thanks to acceptable acidity. Bottled July. Pale lemon colour, a little more flesh on the nose, pleasingly rounded, very stylish. Buy this without question. With time in the glass the Chablis minerality shows as well as the pleasing flesh.” 89 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy […]
