Description
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.
Jasper Morris MW, Wine Buyer
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.
