Cream, yeast and lemon form a perfect trinity on this wine's vivid nose. The fresh palate is lively with bubbles, rounded with bready yeastiness and comes with a gentle texture. It is dry, appetizing and refreshing on the finish.

The 2021 Chablis Sainte Claire was showing a little too much SO2 on the nose, although there seems to be decent fruit tucked behind. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, quite tensile and steely with a precise finish that deserves a round of applause. This is well-crafted.

At once ripe, with fresh sour-cherry fruit, the nose also has a touch of wet earth in the fall. Impressive depth for this humble appellation, the acidity riper than is often case here, the gentle tannins neatly interlocking with this. No hero, but a delightful wine that gives plenty of Burgundy character for a modest price. Sustainable. Drink now.

The 2018 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru was picked at 58hl/ha and spent 18 months in stainless steel except for just 7% aged for 9 months in oak barrels. It offers attractive, slightly waxy aromas on the nose that give way to orange blossom and apple peel with aeration. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, and just a dab of ginger on the entry that actually resurfaces toward the finish. This is a pretty and well-executed Vaillons.

This white strikes a nice balance between peach, apple and lemon fruit and light herb and earth accents. The vibrant structure keeps it defined and extends the finish. Drink now through 2024. 12,000 cases imported.

Gentle aromas of lemon and apple pick up a stony element as this white builds on the palate. Rich, yet backed by a vibrant structure, ending with a lemon note and a chalky feel on the finish. Drink now through 2023.

A subtle hint of tangerine on the nose dissipates to leave ripe lemon brightness. The palate is beautifully concentrated, juicy and fresh, brimming with lemon-edged Mirabelle fruitiness. A chalky depth anchors everything in more coolness despite the ripe, rounded vintage.

Ripe quince and apricot fruit, with a slight hint of herbs but also a note of honey. The silky texture caresses the palate and there is none of the acerbity younger vines can produce with this grape. Lafarge was very pleased with his Aligoté: 'There was good quality and reasonable alcohol; the 2019 was a classic, but the 2020 has great depth.
