The domaine’s holdings cover 38 ha, and the various cuvées have just been blended, and will stay on lees through to December. Pale lemon yellow. An entrancing bouquet, on the sunnier side but with a mineral undercurrent. Sherbet on the palate along with citrus, good concentration, and an evenly balanced finish. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted Jun 2024.

The Domaine’s 2023 Chablis villages is also a fine version, and despite having only been bottled a bit more than three weeks before my visit, it was showing well. The wine’s aromatic constellation is vibrant and classy, offering up scents of fresh lime, green apple, flinty minerality,white lilies and a topnote of citrus zest. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and shows off an excellent core of fruit for a villages level bottling, with bright acids, fine focus and grip and a long, minerally, complex and nicely precise finish. 2025-2045.

Sourced from a mosaic of exposures and elevations and incorporating old vines planted between 1969 and 1972, the 2023 Chablis Village offers aromas of pear, white flowers and freshly baked bread. Medium- to full-bodied, ample and charming, it is underpinned by ripe yet racy acidity and concludes with a long, saline finish. Harvested earlier to preserve freshness, this is a well-executed village-level Chablis.(WK)
