Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin,
Ready, but will keep,
Raised 100% in stainless steel, the aromas show some of the exotic fruit of the vintage with white peach notes, but there is the unmistakable marine quality of true Chablis on Kimmeridgian soil underneath, along with the zesty lemon edge. Approachable now and will be enjoyable over the next few years.

Jean-Claude Bessin,
Ready, but will keep,
Based in La Chapelle Vaupelteigne, north of Chablis town, Jean-Claude's first vintage was the 1992. Though trained as an architect Jean-Claude Bessin preferred to take over the vineyards of his father-in-law. From vines planted in the 1950s and 1970s, this wine is always one which punches well above the weight of its humble “village” classification. Indeed, the old vines with their deep root systems were of particular benefit in the warm, dry 2015 vintage, allowing the vine to tap into water reserves deep in the subsoil and avoid the dangers of water stress.
As a result this wine displays a pleasing restraint in the form of the classic iodine and oyster shell character one associates with Chablis, accompanied by the riper white peach and honeysuckle flavours of the warm vintage.

Domaine Pinson,
Ready, but will improve,
This is the flagship among the Premiers Crus. It shows a fine pure bright colour, with maybe a touch of oak alongside the fruit on the nose. Offering a very full, generous yet balanced mouthful of lemon curd fruit, this is a superb expression of the more generous side of Chablis. It finishes with a lovely salinity from the Kimmeridgian soil. Drink 2018-2024.

Volumes for 2015 are down after the pre-harvest hail but the quality here is exemplary. The father and daughter team of Laurent and Charlène Pinson, aided by other members of the family, continue to make excellent and very fairly priced wines from a range of vineyards. Part of our selection is shown below. The wines are mostly vinified in stainless steel then given a proportion of barrel ageing.

Domaine Pinson,
Ready, but will keep,
From vines planted in 1956, this is a beautiful Chablis offering a pure, clear and classic bouquet which is both chiselled and mineral. There is good concentration on the palate, with a lovely mix of floral and fresh fruit notes. Drink 2018-2024.

Samuel Billaud,
Ready, but will improve,
The wine is made with three plots: 60-year-old vines at the top, 30 in the middle and 80 at the bottom. Samuel noted that the grapes were beautifully golden but even so the wine has come through with a fine, fresh quality. Indeed there is a steely intensity to this. It has perfect balance, long and concentrated. Drink 2019-2023.
Jasper Morris MW, Wine Buyer
Samuel has not only been able to take back his share of the family vineyards but he has also moved into some excellent premises which he has been refurbishing, in the heart of Chablis. It was good to find him in such a cheerful frame of mind. The long, slow vinification of his 2015s has done the wines a lot of good. We found a concentration of minerality and characteristic saline finishes.

Isabelle et Denis Pommier,
Ready, but will improve,
The 2015 Chablis 1er Cru Troesmes comes from the Pommier's 1.80 hectare of 45-year-old vines on white marne soils. Aged 70% in stainless steel and 30% in used barrels, it has a lean, flinty bouquet that needs to muster more vigor in the glass. The palate is fresh and tensile on the entry, nicely focused with a brisk, quite saline finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. This is a well-made right bank Chablis premier cru.

Le Domaine d'Henri,
Ready, but will improve,
With a fine, pale colour, the nose is restrained in youth, but there is a delicious wealth of fruit on the palate, folded into a rich background and finishing in fresh style. This is a very stylish bottling of Fourchaume. Drink 2019-2023.
Jasper Morris MW, Wine Buyer
Visiting the domaine during the 2015 harvest, we found Margaux Laroche beaming like a cat with two tails. The storm which had dropped hail over other vineyards had merely provided much needed water for their Fourchaume vines. The grapes badly needed the extra juice which the rains provided, and the extra hang time allowed for them to assimilate the water usefully and then regain their equilibrium behind. The resulting wines are terrific.

Domaine William Fevre, Chablis,
Ready, but will improve,
Fresh, clear and bright in colour, this is very chiselled on the nose, yet with more fruit than usual. Indeed the weight initially hides the tension which is nonetheless clearly there, with power behind an excellent finish. Drink 2018-2024.
Jasper Morris MW, Wine Buyer
In common with most of his colleagues, Didier Séguier was ready to harvest in early September; starting on Thursday 3rd with the vineyards which had been hit by the hail storm earlier in the week. The damage was to volume rather than quality and certainly just from tasting it was not possible to see where the hail had fallen. These are powerful wines which have nonetheless retained the qualities of classic Chablis.

Domaine Louis Michel,
Ready, but will keep,
This is much more exotic, but in a very good way. The wine has real nervous tension along with Montée de Tonnerre’s natural opulence. There’s a touch of spice here, excellent acidity, a fine thread of concentrated yellow plum fruit and a little bit of orange blossom. Complex and interesting. Drink 2018-2024.
Jasper Morris MW, Wine Buyer
Quantity is a bit of a problem this year as the Michels suffered hail in 22 of their 25 hectares. Fortunately most of the Grands Crus were spared, but they have very little Chablis or Premier Cru. Guillaume Michel brought in most of the crop in three and a half days, so there was no deterioration of the grapes from the areas which suffered. The grapes were in fact ripe to perfection and, as with last year, this is an impressive range of wines.

Isabelle et Denis Pommier,
Ready, but will improve,
Situated in the lieu-dit of Fourchaume itself, this is the vineyard that Isabelle and Denis always harvest first, as it ripens earliest. There is often a significant proportion of millerandage, which means the vines produce very small grapes. Consequently there is great density here, plenty of richness and a slowly unfurling, cashmere texture.

Le Domaine d'Henri,
Ready, but will improve,
These old vines, the last to be picked, are from the end of l'Homme Mort sector, a cooler site which delivers grapes with thick skins and hence great concentration of flavour, especially after a long but very gentle pressing. The 2015 has lovely, fresh, concentrated fruit; a powerful structure with good tannins; and a complex, richly fruited finish. There are multiple layers of flavour, waves of pure white fruit and a few fresh plums too. Drink 2019-2024.

Domaine Louis Michel,
For laying down,
A fine, pale colour, this has a very steely backward nose. The concentration is absolutely there, with the detail still to come. The fruit swells beautifully on the palate, with clean fresh pear notes and a very fine sense of balance, bearing the freshness of the best wines of the vintage alongside the weight. Drink 2020-2026.

Jean-Claude Bessin,
For laying down,
Subtle and discreet on the nose, this is clearly a wine which will require some time to fully open up. The palate offers a lovely understated power, full of subtle, elegant nuances. It is at once very closed and tightly wound, with a richness that steers clear of being blousy. The finish has a wonderful touch of roasted nuts and pithy, phenolic grip. An excellent wine which will reward those with the patience to wait for it to mature.

For laying down,
Until 31st August this product is discounted by 20%*
The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros has a splendid bouquet with a very subtle reductive note. There is real delineation and poise here, with walnut and smoke emerging with time and struck flint emerging later. The palate is well defined with a fine bead of acidity (although the acidity level is lower than in Blanchot). Touches of blackcurrant leaf and quince dovetail into a very energetic finish that lingers for over a minute. Superb.
Neal Martin - 31/08/2017
From 40-year-old vines in the Côte des Bougerots and vinified in two 450-litre barrels for ferment and the first year of élevage, then spends six months in tank before being bottled unfiltered. There is no new oak here; one barrel being one year old, the other three years old. The nose is fascinating, quite toasty with rich fruit and aromas of hazelnuts and smoke. The palate offers excellent concentration and splendid peach fruit. This feels surprisingly accessible, with a saline and iodine finish. Outstanding.

Samuel Billaud,
For laying down,
The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot was reduced to just three barrels in this vintage due to hail on 31 August that stripped the vines of leaves. It was Samuel's first vinification of this vineyard within his own company. Matured in five-year-old barrels, it is more austere on the nose than the Bougros and demands more coaxing from the glass-it remains stern and steely. The palate is saline on the entry, well balanced with a crisp line of acidity, fresh and vibrant but just needing a little more body on the finish.
Neal Martin - 31/08/2017
Samuel's Blanchots provides more freshness and minerality than his Bougrots. The nose has a discreet finesse that feels noble and refined. Fermented and then raised in four to five-year-old barrels for a year before spending six months in tank. There is a classic, mineral tension to this wine that screams Chablis. Very linear and mineral, this is one for the Chablis purists.

Clear, powerful, classy, this is a wine of real strength and character. This shows the sunny side of the vineyard plus a hint of oak behind, but it is the intensity through the middle which is really special. The wine has lovely, pure, concentrated fruit with a touch of freshness, even a welcome sense of green. Definitely a keeper. Drink 2022-2032.

Fine and bright in colour, this has a little more depth than the other wines. There is a characteristic spice to the nose, along with some ripe yellow fruit, perhaps a darker plum than Mirabelle.

Domaine Pinson,
Ready, but will improve,
Until 31st August this product is discounted by 30%*
Louis Pinson himself retired in 1983, having made some fabulous old-style Chablis wines. His great-granddaughter, Charlène, along with her father, Laurent and her uncle Christophe have now taken over. Everything is hand-harvested, with sorting of the grapes both in the vineyard and winery. Fermentation is mostly in stainless steel using selected yeasts, then the wines are transferred to barrel for the maturation process.
This goes into 15 percent new wood and 85 percent tank for vinification, then maturation over 12 months in one-, two- and three-year-old wood. While the wood appears from time to time on the nose, the fruit soon kicks it to one side. With very significant weight on the palate, the wine shows the opulence of the year without losing its Chablis roots.

A brilliant, clear colour, this has a very sensual nose of white flowers and fruit. There is a really gracious texture here with the usual Preuses cashmere coating. It’s fully ripe but not heavy, a beauty. There is great energy behind, but with distinction rather than brute force. Drink 2022-2028.

Domaine William Fevre, Chablis,
Ready, but will improve,
From the steepest part of the vineyard, this has a little light primrose colour and a glorious, magisterial bouquet. With some fresh lemon notes, there is huge weight to this, opening out to a really sumptuous succulent finish – and just a touch of youthful bitterness to drive the saliva. Some tannins at the back add to the concentration, fabulous dry extract. Hugely impressive, this is perhaps the Chablis of the vintage. Drink 2022-2035.

Domaine William Fevre, Chablis,
For laying down,
A beautiful, very pale primrose, the nose is classy, showing the oak a bit at first, but then the noble fruit emerges. There is huge volume here, ultra-concentrated white fruit (maybe white-fleshed peaches), a touch of wood and then the spice of ripeness without undue weight. This is very impressive but Bougerots maybe wins this year. Drink 2022-2032.
