On the 2019 Vintage
’Wide, open, attractive citrus, almost with a little menthol extra. Always a lovely PC here and this is no exception; mouth-watering, nicely but not overly structured and very delicious.’ Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report, January 2021.

About the Wine Maker
The approach to winemaking is directed towards producing classic, mineral, racy Chablis with freshness and purity. Stainless steel is used for the Petit Chablis and Chablis wines, whilst just a small percentage of older barrels is used for the elevage of the Chablis 1er Cru wines. The result is a range of very authentic wines showing refined aromatic purity and great typicality, with each wine clearly showing its terroir origins.
