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.

Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 1998
$109.00Add to cartOne of the beautiful things about Chenin Blanc is its ability to age. While this 1998 also happened to come from a classic year with 1/5th of the grapes being affected by botrytis, there’s no heaviness to this wine. It was has lovely notes of dried fruits that balance with the lingering sweetness—and lucky us, it’s in the perfect drinking window.
-
Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 2002
$99.00Add to cartOne of the beautiful things about Chenin Blanc is its ability to age. This 2002 has recently emerged from an awkward adolescence to become an amazing wine. It’s balanced with the fresh fruit having faded to dry and the acidity and sweetness that were competing have harmonized.

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.
