(from Sur le Clos). A fruit, bright and citrusy nose offers good typicity in the form of sea breeze, algae and iodine. There is good density and reasonably good energy to the round and delicious flavors that terminate in an agreeably dry lemon-tinged finish where the only nit is a touch of warmth. This should drink well young but a year or two of keeping should help to add depth.Inc. VAT£192.80 -

The 2021 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has an attractive nose with white peach and light white flower aromas, nicely focused and delineated. The palate is vibrant and edgy, just a bit of CO2 in my sample, although it needs more ballast on the finish.Inc. VAT£350.29 -

Pale lemon colour. Just a little bit smoky yet pleasingly marine as well. Very crunchy saline finish, 2022 is more classic for Vaillons than 2023. White fruit with the lightest of saline lemon rinses. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted Jul 2024.Inc. VAT£309.20 -

Bright, pale, green-tinged yellow. Ripe aromas of mirabelle and nectarine, with an element of exotic spices. Fat, ripe and sweet, with an almost glyceral texture to the nectarine and pink grapefruit flavors. A fat, spicy wine with lowish acidity. This hail-affected parcel was picked at the beginning of the harvest owing to the more fragile grape skins, noted Bernard Billaud. Will make a fat and agreeable chardonnay, although with limited vineyard typicity.Inc. VAT£74.15 -
Burghound (91)
(from 4 different parcels of 35+ year old vines). Here the wood is subtle though easily perceptible on the mildly exotic aromas of white and yellow peach, orange peel and moderate Chablis elements. On the palate the larger-bodied and more concentrated flavors are also generously proportioned while concluding in a balanced, dry and powerful finish. This could use more depth so a few years of keeping should again prove beneficial.Inc. VAT£290.00 -

5 Star Wine. An even lemon yellow. The concentrated warmth of Montée de Tonnerre is showing here in a very attractive way, a little more compelling than Mont de Milieu. Less flamboyant up front then the 2023 but if anything offering greater intensity behind with really well harnessed marine minerals. Beautiful persistence. Drink from 2027-2034. Tasted Jul 2024.Inc.

The 2021 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru replaces the Vaillons this year and Billaud's supplier could not deliver - only two barrels-worth.

Bright pale yellow. Very pure but reticent nose dominated by wet stone and minerals. Extremely tight and uncompromising, in a taut, lemony style. Finishes very long and vibrant, with a soupcon of fresh pineapple. Bailly found this wine extremely rigid in the early going and put part of it in a cask and two barrels during the middle of its elevage; it was bottled just before Christmas. This wine clearly needs extended aging and will merit a higher score if it expands in bottle.Inc. VAT£159.85 -

(made in two barrels and the rest stainless steel): Bright light-medium yellow. Peach and spice aromas are complicated by saline sea spray and iodine. Thick but not at all heavy; a step up from the other 2015s here in urgent fruit and savory minerality. This seamless wine boasts real energy and bulletproof material. The spicy, saline, rising finish saturates the palate. The yield here was just 21 hectoliters per hectare, according to Bailly. This wine was quite dry and strict last year but has turned out well, even if it will require patience.Inc. VAT£3,541.78 -

The 2014 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir has a clean and fresh bouquet with hints of blackberry leaf complementing the citrus fruit and cold granitic aromas. The palate is well balanced with precise citrus fruit, a keen line of acidity and plenty of mineral tension.

Lemony colour. A touch of the wet wool reduction, more usual on a wine with greater age, but not in itself suggesting evolution. This wet wool aromatic is really just a sulphur compound, I believe. Then very spicy behind with a raft of white fruit energy and good acidity. Hangs on in well, plenty of latent concentration, just closed at the moment. Drink from 2028-2038. Tasted Jul 2024.Inc.

The 2020 Chablis Tête d'Or derives only domaine fruit, and unlike the regular Chablis, it is aged a little longer with 25-30% barrels, mixed used and new with some 500-litre casks. It offers orchard fruit, touches of pressed white flowers on the nose and fine presence, but it's just missing a little personality. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, green apples with a touch of pear and a nice steely finish, albeit just missing a little length.Inc. VAT£221.89 -

(from 2 parcels situated in the village of Bas de Chapelot raised in 25 to 30% five+ year old wood). A discreet dollop of wood sets off a similar set of aromas that offer a hint of wet stone. The mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is also sleek and vibrant with a slightly finer texture that carries over to the balanced, youthfully austere and slightly more compact finale. This is very good for its level and worth considering.Inc. VAT£237.20 -
