The 2020 vintage has brought a much appreciated return to form for many Chablisienne, with generous fruit making way for more classic mineral qualities and linear acidity. Bernard Defaix's Petit Chablis is a great example of this, with a refined edge that embodies what we know and love from Chablis. This bottling is under screwcap and is also certified organic.
"The plot is located above Vaillons, and rarely for Petit Chablis, on kimmeridgian soil, in a very stony spot. Attractive … more
"Along with the Blanchots, this is the most floral-suffused wine in the range with its elegant and pure aromas of white peach and discreet Chablis elements that include tidal pool and quinine. The succulent but impressively intense middle weight flavors are less generous but notably finer while exhibiting outstanding length on the bonedry finale. This classy and tightly wound effort is also potentially excellent and wellworth considering." 'Outstanding' 93 Drink 2028+ Burghound

Billaud-Simon make some excellent Chablis that show the classic green apple tartness with zest fruits, high minerality and slight chalkiness. This is all balanced by amazing texture that makes this wine supremely drinkable young.
Note: from 11 parcels scattered around Chablis, the most notable of which are from Les Pargues
'Here too there is a hint of the exotic to the fresh aromas of sea breeze, petrol and citrus-scented nose. In the same fashion as the Petit Chablis, the medium … more

"The Faiveley family's 0.4ha parcel of Les Preuses was planted in 1949 and is among the domaine's older blocks. Pale, fresh and refined, this was mostly stainless steel fermented, with just 10% seeing wood. Aniseed and lemon peel aromas lead you into a palate that combines stone fruit and lime flavours with a dusting of baking spices." 94, Tim Atkin

Long established Chablis house that strives for classical, fine, delicate minerally styled wines.
"A lifted intensity of lemon and hazel-nut on this wine's subtle nose promises concen-tration. The palate presents lemon zestiness and a yeasty texture that seems to fizz with freshness. It has lemony resonance, mouthwatering brightness and a rounded body to back it all up." 93 Points - Anne Krebiehl MW Wine Enthusiast
The "Mise en Tardive" is the same base wine as the Vent d'Ange, but bottled later after extra time on lees.
"Vauprin" is a vineyard located in the village of Lignorelles (North Western corner of Chablis) and is known for being one of the highest altitude parcels in Chablis.
This particular wine is fermented in stainless steel, but then aged 50% in 2-5 year old barriques and 50% in stainless. Without the oak to "tame" the wine, thios would be one serious searing Chablis! As it is it has wonderful texture, grea mineral drive and excellent Chardonnay fruit aromatics.

A level up in intensity and concentration relative to the Petit Chablis. Part of the wine is aged in used oak, bringing additional depth and nuance. Mineral notes feature prominently on the zingy, mouthwatering finish.
