Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2010
$96.00Add to cartThis is a fascinating wine. Most people’s conception of Chablis is that it should be drunk young, preferably with oysters, but this wine provides an aged counter-point. It has a nutty and almost sherry-like nose that you would think is prematurely oxidized, but the palate is so fresh it’s like sucking on an electric lemon.

Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis Vielles Vignes 2021
$51.00Add to cartThis Chablis is a delight to drink. It’s everything we like in a young Chablis: crisp, elegant, textured, and possessing a hidden, stony depth that teases itself out across your palate. These wines can age if you have the patience and fortitude to not drink them.

Domaine Francois Raveneau Chablis Montee de Tonnerre 1er Cru 2006 1.5L
$1,705.00Add to cartPeach blossom and faint honey on the nose. Faded flavors of apple tart with chablis minerality holding the wine together. Less austere than some version of the wine.

Domaine Long-Depaquit (Albert Bichot), Chablis, Le Clos Grand Cru, 2020
$125.00Add to cartThis is great Chablis. Still a tad young but starting to coalesce. Expect peak drinking around 2026-2035 (wow can’t believe I just wrote 2035!) Right now the minerality dominates and truncates what will certainly be a more fruit driven finish in the future.

Domaine Long-Depaquit (Albert Bichot), Chablis, Vaudesir Grand Cru, 2020
$125.00Add to cartFrom 47 year old vines the wine is just coming into its prime drinking and will continue to be fresh and beautiful for another 7 to 10 years. This is a very fine example of the Vaudesir site and an excellent Chablis.

Patrick Piuze Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2023
$90.00Add to cartPatrick Piuze, originally of Montreal (not all winemakers working in France are French), worked for some of the greats like Leflaive, Jean-Marc Brocard and Jean-Marie Guffens before starting his own label in 2008. It may be from Guffens that he picked up some of his iconoclastic ways like hand picking his sourced fruit and fermenting the wines spontaneously. The Montmains fruit comes from all three subclimates of Montmains: Butteaux, Forets, and Montmains. He gets fruit from a half a hectare and this wine tends to be the most austere of the three as there is very little topsoil and the vines grow right on the bedrock.
