This 57-hectare estate has existed for a number of decades, but only began making and marketing its own wine in 1996. Brothers Jérôme (vineyard) and Xavier (cellar) are in charge.
The estate is slated for organic certification in 2024.
With the exception of the Petit Chablis, which is fermented in tank, all the wines are fermented in wood. All wines have cork closures.
2020 Petit Chablis
This wine is smooth and silky; acidity is moderate. It is for current consumption, probably best as an apéritif wine. 86/B
2020 Chablis
The straight Chablis is smooth with complexity to lemony flavors, minerality, and good freshness. 30% was raised in foudre (large oak casks). 88/B+
2018 Chablis Grains Dorés
The Grains Dorés is only bottled after 2-1/2 years. The wine alternates between wood and tank during that time. The wine is long with minerality and some complexity, also a bit of sucrosity for the moment. 88/B+
2019 Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy
This easily-approachable wine shows some lemon fruit, a smooth texture, and enough acidity to hold it all together. 89/B
2019 Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Jouan
The Côte de Jouan has more acidity showing than the Beauroy and features ripe lemony fruit. 89/B
2019 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains
This wine is rich and silky with long lemony fruit. Alas, there is a bit of sucrosity here which prevents me from rating it higher for the moment. 89/B
2019 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu
This wine is racy and ripe, with more stoniness than in the preceding wines. Good length here. 90/B+
2019 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume
From what is generally considered the finest 1er Cru vineyard in Chablis, the Fourchaume is stonier still, deep, concentrated, and saline. 90(+)/B+
2019 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir
There’s some steeliness here, but also sucrosity, and overall I find the wine a bit soft. This wine was raised for 24 months in 600l demi-muids. 88/C+
