André and Gabrielle Tremblay harvested their first grapes in the Fourchaume vineyard in 1949. They passed on what is now Domaine des Malandes to their daughter, who in turn bequeathed the estate to her children Richard and Amandine, who are now at the helm of this excellent Domaine. The wines here shine in the 2020 vintage, and manage to combine the minerality, precision and classicality of traditional Chablis, with a touch more roundness, expression and generosity. The Premiers and Grands Crus are a beacon of quality.
Often considered a candidate for the greatest Grand Cru vineyard of all, Les Clos typically produces some of the longest-lived wines from the commune, and this example, made from 50-year-old vines, certainly exhibits all the qualities it needs to evolve gracefully for the next decade at least.

2020 Samuel Billaud, Chablis Premier Cru, Sechet Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
The Billaud family have been producing great Chablis since 1815. 6th generation Samuel set out on his own in 2010 and it is fair to say that after a decade, his dynamic approach and great winemaking... touch have taken his domaine from a status of Rising Star to one of the very best, established growers in the region. Samuel makes precise, elegant and terroir-true expressions of every vineyard in his care. His wines are electric and simply crackle with the tension and vibrancy which can be found in the region's best wines. Offering scintillating wines from the refreshing, steely fresh Petit-Chablis through to bold and dynamic Grand Crus, Samuel Billaud is a master of his craft, and as Neal Martin points out, "We should see him right at the top of Chablis producers alongside the likes of Raveneau and Vincent Dauvissat". These are singular Chablis and the sheer embodiment of purity and poise.

2020 Domaine des Malandes, Chablis Premier Cru, Vau de Vey 6x75cl
Always a very approachable premier cru, Vau de Vey in 2020 shows delicious citrus peel and green apple, with a lovely richness to the mid-palate and a long, pithy finish. An excellent example from the village, and great value to boot.

2020 Samuel Billaud, Chablis 12x75cl
The sheer precision, delicacy, concentration, and elegance expressed in Samuel Billaud’s terroir-true 2020 Chablis cuvées confirm once again why, since setting out from Domaine Billaud-Simon a... decade ago, he has become one of the region’s most respected producers.
This was proven to us in our tasting room earlier this year, as all the crackling electricity, vibrancy, purity and tension of great Chablis was in full abundance and will see both the Village and Petit Chablis age beautifully over the next 5 to 7 years.
Samuel crafts this cuvée from the fruit of 3 vineyards abutting top 1er crus sites such as Montée de Tonnerre, Montmains and Vaillons, chosen for their complementary qualities. The 2020 result is an outstanding Chablis with great weight and character. It has delightful citrus fruit and steely freshness that is a mouth-watering classic.

2020 Domaine William Fevre, Chablis 6x75cl
The 2020 Chablis Village comes from 50 different plots around 50 years old, the majority planted at the end of the 1960s. The simple but well-defined bouquet of Granny Smith apples is light and airy.... The palate is crisp and taut with citrus lemon and saline notes. Very citric on the finish, and not long, but it conveys satisfying energy at this level.

2020 Domaine Albert Bichot (Long-Depaquit), Chablis Grand Cru, Moutonne 6x75cl
*ON ALLOCATION - £570 per case of 6 bottles IB*
Domaine Long-Depaquit can be traced back to 1791 when Jean Depaquit and his brother Simon moved to Chablis. They purchased vineyards and developed... their domaine into one of the most renowned producers of Chablis today. Now owned by Albert Bichot in Beaune, Domaine Long-Depaquit offers an impressive range of Premier and Grand Crus. A sustainable approach, limited yields and skilful winemaking creates incredibly invigorating and mineral-edged wines. ‘La Moutonne’, a monopole in the heart of the Grand Cru vineyards, between Vaudésir and Les Preuses is one of their most celebrated cuvées, known for its incredible precision, elegance and staying power. Whichever cuvée you choose, these are delicious, mineral rich Chardonnays of the highest order.
Opening the proceedings at a Bichot tasting in London, the 2020 La Moutonne quite simply blew us away. Crushed oyster shell and citrus on the nose, followed on the palate by a superb energy with an exquisite texture. Laser-like, yet with excellent weight and power on the long finish, this is very, very special.

2020 Domaine Albert Bichot (Long-Depaquit), Chablis Premier Cru, Les Lys 6x75cl
Les Lys fits in our portfolio as a great source of perfumed, delicate 1er Cru Chablis, and once again it delivers on that brief in 2020. Hawthorn and lime, with an excellent acid structure. Lovely.

2020 Domaine William Fevre, Chablis Grand Cru, Cote Bouguerots 3x150cl
“The 2020 Chablis Bougros Côte Bouguerots Grand Cru comes from two south-facing parcels on steep, sunny inclines. Proximity to the river keeps nighttime temperatures lower, maintaining acidity.... The intense nose features lemon thyme, crushed pebbles and sea spray scents. The palate sports a minor reduction, but there is fine depth here along with a keen line of acidity. Touches of white peach and nectarine emerge toward the minerally finish. Very fine.” Drink 2024-2042, 92-94 pts. Neal Martin, www.vinous.com

2020 Domaine William Fevre, Chablis Grand Cru, Preuses 6x75cl
“Aromas of quinine, essence of wet stone and seashore add breadth to the nose of pear, apple and anise. Once again there is fine density and intensity to the mouth coating medium weight flavors... that flash outstanding length on the bracingly saline suffused finale. This has already developed very good depth and more will also surely develop. This is potentially outstanding.” (Burghound)

2020 Domaine William Fevre, Chablis Premier Cru, Fourchaume 6x75cl
“An abundance of Chablis typicity is present on the aromas of mineral reduction, white orchard fruit, citrus zest and tidal pool. There is again very good volume and density to the medium-bodied... flavors that are unusually powerful for Fourchaume, all wrapped in a lemony and almost salty finish. This is quite promising and particularly so for a négociant offering... Outstanding," (Burghound)

2020 Domaine William Fevre, Chablis Grand Cru, Bougros 6x75cl
The 2020 Chablis Bougros Grand Cru comes from six hectares of vines, southwest- and south-facing, forming the two different cuvées. The bouquet unfolds to offer lovely yellow fruit and oyster leaf... aromas, well defined and quite generous. The palate is taut and crisp with fine acidity and moderate depth, but very pretty and composed toward the saline finish. There is plenty of substance already in situ and I foresee this aging with class.
