Chablis
2021 Domaine William Fevre, Chablis 6x75cl
"The 2021 Chablis Village comes from 46-hectares of vines and was cropped at 2Ohl/ha, the vines converted to organic two years ago and due for certification next year. It has a steely nose at first,... opening nicely with hints of honeysuckle and wild peaches. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, taut and focused, plenty of energy here with an added touch of spice that enlivens the finish. No doubt this will represent great value-for-money. " 89-91 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com

2021 Domaine William Fevre, Chablis Premier Cru, Vaillons 6x75cl
"The 2021 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru, which comes from around 12 parcels, 3.5-hectares, two-thirds within the "Vaillons" climats in the heart of the appellation. This has a slightly yeasty nose at the... moment, not a million miles away from the Montmains in style. The palate is slightly different with a little more frisson and tension, just a touch more length on the finish. This should develop nicely in bottle." 91-93 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com

The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, nicely focused with a touch of quince complementing the citrus fruit, though I am just seeking a little more mineralito to come through on the final third.

Great potential. " 93-95 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com

From Les Pargues, Bas de Chapolot and Les Carts, this Grands Terroirs is primal on the nose, imparting aromas yellow flowers, grapefruit zest and a light flintiness.

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.

2021 Domaine des Malandes, Chablis Grand Cru, Les Clos 6x75cl
"The 2021 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru, which sees seven months in oak and another seven months in stainless steel, has a pretty, peppermint-tinged bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is... well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, taut and linear, quite precise on the finish with a hint of chamomile lingering on the aftertaste. This is a commendable showing, and it should drink well over the next decade. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis." 92 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com

2021 Domaine des Malandes, Chablis Grand Cru, Vaudesir 6x75cl
"From this cooler site, the 2021 shows its true precision and concentration. White stone fruit, pear drops, brisk acidity and a touch of lime zest on the finish. Though approachable now, such structure as it has will truly delight in two years' time." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

From vines that were planted by Billaud’s grandmother and are now 80 years old, Les Séchets 1er Cru is also matured entirely in tank, giving it a crisp, slightly more reserved and chalky bouquet.
