2023 Gautheron Chablis
In 1977 Alain Gautheron, the 6th generation in a line of Chablis vignerons, joined his father Jean in the family domaine located about 4 kilometers from the town of Chablis. At that time, the domaine was comprised of a mere 8 hectares and was selling around 10,000 bottles a year. Alain decided to get serious and, with the help of his father, grew the domaine’s holdings. In 1991 when Jean decided to retire, Alain took over the entire 14.5-hectare estate. He was joined in 2000 by his son Cyril, who helped create a new cuverie and generally bring the domaine into the modern era. From 15- to 55-year old vines planted on Kimmeridgien soil, the wine is vinified and aged in stainless steel tanks. Aromas of fresh flowers, followed by peach and apricot as well as citrus fruits. On the palate it is well balanced and elegant with a long mineraled finish. A great partner for oysters on the half shell, scallops or salmon tartare.$27.909 -
2023 La Chablisienne Pas Si Petit Petit Chablis
Winery Notes- Pale gold color, limpid and brilliant wine. The nose opens with citrus notes complemented by a refreshing vegetable hint. It then develops on a mineral touch. On the palate, the wine is tonic, salivating, with a good length.$24.903 -
2023 Domaine Etienne Sauzet Bourgogne Blanc
Clear in color already. A lovely elegant nose, quite classy for appellation. Round, almondy fruit with a little bit more oak then usual for Bourgogne Blanc since it was 100% barrel- fermented due to the small crop rather than the normal 50%. This has good balance, with lemon/lime, cream and some anise on the finish.$49.904 -
2023 La Chablisienne Chablis Le Finage
Winery Notes- Pale gold in colour, brilliant. At first, fairly discreet on the nose revealing notes of sweet spices (vanilla). After opening, more fruity aromas appear (pear juice) with slight vegetal and lemon hints. The palate is fresh with well balanced acidity. The whole is simple and rich with great energy.$24.906 -
2022 Gautheron Vieilles Vignes Chablis
Made from some of the oldest vines on the property (60-70 years old), on Kimmeridgien soil, this wine is fermented in tank and then spends several months in oak. It has plenty of saline and mineraled notes, as well as fresh, floral aromas and appley fruit, while a touch of vanilla adds complexity on the palate. Delightful wine.$32.905 -
2019 Alphonse Mellot Les Pénitents Chardonnay Côtes De La Charité
Winery Notes- Les Pénitents, a cuvee produced from a vineyard that was almost destroyed by phylloxera in the late 19th century but whose renown goes back to the 12th century, when it was planted and farmed by Cluniac monks, who were gifted the land by Etienne, Count of Sancerre. Now reduced in size to some fifty hectares, it was brought back to life in the late 1980s thanks to the dedication of winegrowers in love with their art. Located on the hillsides of Nièvre just thirty-five kilometres from the family’s Sancerre base and classified as IGP Côtes de la Charité, the vineyard is crosLes-Pénitents-Côtes-De-La-Charité-BLC.jpgsed by the Way of Saint James of Compostela – whence the cuvee’s name. This 100% Chardonnay white has an expressive nose delivering real aromatic intensity with notes of citrus and exotic fruits, a rich yellow robe with glints of gold, and a finely balanced palate with lemony hints and a full lingering finish that calls for a second glass… The aromas of the Loire combined with all the minerality of a Chablis! Les Pénitents white will reveal its full finesse and freshness drunk as an aperitif or accompanying oysters, guinea fowl supreme with morels, risotto with truffles or Crottin de Chavignol cheese – a true quaffing wine!$24.903
