An attractively youthful chardonnay with aromas of orange, ripe pear and a hint of hazelnuts. Lively, citrusy acidity is woven into the rather rich, medium-bodied palate. Very nice harmony at the silky finish.

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.

Subtle notes of ripe apple combine with hints of shortbread on the nose of this wine. The palate adds notions of juicy, ripe, yellow plum. All is fruity but subtle. The fine mousse adds freshness and roundness to this lovely dry sparkler.

Lovely freshness offset by rich orchard fruit and gentle nuttiness in this enjoyable fizz that delivers a lot for its price tag. The blend is dominated by Chenin Blanc (10% of which from reserve wines) and the variety’s trademark woolly creaminess gives weight to the lifted linden, grapefruit and peach aromas. Textural and food-friendly.

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.

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.

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.
