(1x75cl) 2015Wine Advocate (94)
The 2015 Chablis 1Er Cru Vaillons was difficult to pin down last year from barrel when it trailed behind the other premier crus. Of course, it was just playing a trick on this writer because it has blossomed into one fabulous Vaillons. It is blessed with a pretty, wet limestone-scented bouquet, very open and transparent with a touch of spice developing with aeration. The palate skips along, fresh and tensile with a keen thread of acidity. I love the tension here that enlivens this Chablis from start to finish and lends the finish real energy and persistence. What a great Vaillons this is turning out to be and a bit of a revelation after its showing from barrel.Inc. VAT£477.59 -

The 2016 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is showing particularly well from bottle, exhibiting aromas of lemon oil, white flowers, green apples and a light framing of reduction. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, glossy and textural, with excellent concentration, chewy structure and a long, intense finish. It's one 2016 that can go head to head with its 2017 counterpart.Inc. VAT£472.79 -

The 2017 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru is an exceptionally beautiful wine endowed with tremendous length and pure power. Lemon confit, dried flowers and mint are some of the many notes that build in the glass. Textured and resonant through to the finish, with captivating beauty and tons of sheer allure, the Vaillons is so gorgeous. Frankly, it is hard to move on from it in this tasting.Inc. VAT£448.79 -

The 2018 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru offers striking precision in its combination of density, richness and energy. Absolutely nothing stands out in a wine that truly dazzles from the very first taste. Citrus, slate, white pepper, mint and crushed rocks all race out of the glass as the aromatics come alive with a bit of air. The Vaillons is one of the more complete wines among the 1er Crus in this range.Inc. VAT£2,028.35 -
(1x75cl) 2019Vinous - Neal Martin (93-95)
The 2019 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has a beautiful nose of yellow plums, honeysuckle and touches of menthol, conveying the sensuality one often finds in this cru. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, taut and fresh, with impressive concentration that lends persistence on the finish. You can feel this in the mouth 45 seconds after the wine has departed.Inc. VAT£602.39 -

(5-Star Wine) Pale colour with the lightest of lime tints. The bouquet is making me smile.

The 2021 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet with very light chamomile notes emerging, usurped by struck flint and petrichor scents that eventually dominate. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, perhaps a little more straightforward than the Fôret, quite linear in style with a precise finish. This will require two or three years in bottle.Inc.

(6x75cl) 2008Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (89-91)
(in barrel) Sexy aromas of ginger and quinine. Juicy, dense and sweet; already conveying a strong personality. This unusually rich and concentrated village wine offers flavors of pineapple, lemon, stone, ginger and spearmint. The tactile, chewy finish is lifted by a note of spearmint. Almost too rich for village wine, notes Bernard Raveneau.Inc. VAT£1,922.00 -
(6x75cl) 2011Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (89-91)
(from the last vines picked in 2011): Bright, pale yellow-green. Musky grapefruit, lemon and minerals on the nose. Sweet, intensely flavored and precise, in a distinctly fruity style. Finishes with good length and a light touch. Will make an excellent village wine.Inc. VAT£1,922.00 -
(1x75cl) 2014Vinous (91)
An austere whiff of lemon on the nose. Then dense, rich and deep for village wine, offering an enticing hint of sweetness and outstanding balance to its flavors of lemon oil, lime zest, white pepper and crushed stone. Finishes tactile, savory and very long. Even better than a sample I tasted a year ago shortly after the bottling.Inc. VAT£478.91 -

The 2019 Chablis-Villages is well defined and pure on the nose, offering scents of dried honey, dandelion and a little quince jus, all pretty and growing in stature with aeration.

(5-Star Wine) Pale to mid lemon, a little oak, noticeable power but not heat. There is quite a wealth of fruit here and it kicks on to another dimension as if it were 1er cru. Exceptional persistence. Full and ethereal. Cannot imagine better Drink from 2024-2028.Inc. VAT£1,648.84 -

The 2021 Chablis-Villages comes from two parcels, the main one just opposite Epinottes. It shows quite a bit of reduction though you can still tell there is plenty of vibrant, citrus-fresh, blood orange-tinged fruit underneath. The palate is well balanced with a lilting entry, fine weight, just a very slight honeyed texture on the mid-palate and smile-inducing purity towards the finish. Enjoy this over the next decade.Inc.

Pale lemon yellow. Some generous fruit on the nose, yet with salinity leading the way. There is a fine core through the middle, apples and a little saline citrus, the fruit builds further at the back of the palate. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted May 2024.Inc. VAT£1,493.65 -
(3x75cl) 2006Vinous (92+)
Bright, pale yellow. Reticent aromas of white peach, lemon and resiny oak, with a violet topnote. Suave, full and quite dry, in fact downright austere on the back half. A more opulent but less refined style than the Montee de Tonnerre or Butteaux but at the same time almost musclebound today and very difficult to taste. Blanchots makes a heavy wine in the hot years, notes Raveneau, adding that this holding features the estate's oldest vines.Inc. VAT£2,382.40 -
(1x75cl) 2008Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93-96)
(from tank) Pale yellow-green. Reduced, slightly metallic aromas of lemon and white flowers. Penetrating acidity and citric cut give outstanding power and thrust to the palate. For all its stoniness, this avoids coming off as overly austere thanks to its near-perfect sugar/acid balance. Finishes with outstanding length and grip, but this will require at least six to eight years to harmonize its elements.Inc. VAT£1,018.40 -

The 2009 Chablis Blanchots is deep, powerful and intense, particularly in the way it blossoms on the palate with layers of radiant fruit.

Layers of rich, expressive fruit resonate off the palate as the 2011 Chablis Blanchot emerges from the glass. A picture-perfect example of the vintage, the Blanchot is super-expressive, even at this early stage. Citrus, honey and spice nuances flesh out in an expansive, generous Chablis that will drink well with minimum cellaring.Inc. VAT£963.59

Often credited with converting the most ardent of Chardonnay sceptics, Chablis is the cooler Northern cousin to the wines of Burgundy’s famed Cote d’Or. Whether a Petit Chablis or from one of the seven Grand Cru vineyards, the unique Kimmeridgian soil of Chablis produces wines known for their intense freshness and minerality, often described as “flinty” or "steely.”
