Tasting notes
Aromas of green apple, blanched almonds and fresh mint preface the 2021 Chablis Village, a medium-bodied, firm and tangy wine that's chiseled, concentrated and acid-driven. It was cropped at a mere 15 hectoliters per hectare.

Aromatic and appetising. Very pure indeed – finely chiselled and technically perfect. Perhaps just a little less personality than the Pommier version. A little short. (JR)
Notes of mineral reduction and quinine add breadth to the aromas of green apple, lemon-lime and discreet floral nuances. There is slightly better density to the attractively textured medium-bodied flavors that are even more saline-inflected on the balanced, dry and lingering finale. A quality Chablis villages. Drink from 2025 onwards.
The 2021 Chablis Village comes from 46-hectares of vines and was cropped at 20hl/ha, the vines converted to organic two years ago and due for certification next year. It has a steely nose at first, opening nicely with hints of honeysuckle and wild peaches. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, taut and focused, plenty of energy here with an added touch of spice that enlivens the finish. No doubt this will represent great value-for-money.
