"Les Vaillons" Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2025

Lyle Fass
9.5

Tank sample. A clear step up in complexity and scale. The nose combines classic Chablis minerality with a deeper fruit profile than the Côte de Léchet, showing green apple, Granny Smith, sweet lime, crushed stone, and remarkable purity. Still unmistakably old-school Chablis in style, but with more flesh and breadth wrapped around the mineral core.

The palate is spectacular. Concentrated, sapid, and intensely structured, with tremendous depth and persistence. Where Côte de Léchet feels like a mineral storm, Vaillons presents similar intensity through fruit, texture, and architecture. The fruit is layered and juicy, but the structure is impossible to miss, carrying the wine across a long, powerful finish that feels built for decades rather than years. The minerality remains firmly in place, but everything is broader, deeper, and more complete. Still extremely young, but already showing the balance, concentration, and authority of a serious Premier Cru. A brilliant Vaillons and one that should reward long-term patience.

Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2016

10 year old Chablis is getting flinty and smoky. Beeswax, honey, toasted almonds.

Still high acid, but fruit is sort of smoothing out and giving way to more nutty and saline characteristics.

Still mineral driven but edging closer to saline than stoney.

Green orchard fruits are still the backbone in terms of fruit. But way more on the savory side at this point.

Lacking maybe a bit of structural brightness but it is still sleek like a whisper

Quite an unusual wine.

Nose: very serene. White flowers.

Palate: not super dense. Quite elegant. Silky. Mineral. Green apple. Beautiful.

A bit more oak than I like. Needs 12 months.

Côte de Léchet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2025

Lyle Fass
9.4

Tank sample. Explosive classic Chablis nose, almost all mineral and brine, with seashell, Kimmeridgian limestone, wet stone, and only faint hints of lemon and lime underneath. Almost no fruit in the obvious sense. This is a mineral blizzard, wildly expressive and completely old-school, like 1950s-style Chablis wired to a power station.

The palate is stunningly concentrated, with serious acidity, but also real body, density, and richness. It has the electricity and structure of a great acid vintage, but the flesh and substance to carry it. Briny, stony, deep, and intensely architectural, with waves of seashell minerality rushing through the finish. The acidity clamps down at the end and brings everything into sharp, thrilling focus. Very young, obviously, but already gorgeous in its purity and intensity. A serious 25-year Côte de Léchet in the making.

Domaine des Tourettes Hermitage Syrah 2021

Very youthful, medium‑plus bodied Hermitage with a clearly fruit‑driven profile.

Nose: black cherry, blueberry and raspberry, light floral note, minimal smoke or oak spice.
Palate: similar dark and red fruits, moderate tannin, fresh acidity, medium‑plus finish, no noticeable volatility or flaws.
Structure suggests it will improve with a few years of cellaring but is already drinkable with a short decant.

Chablis Chardonnay 2025

Lyle Fass
9.3

Classic Chablis turned up several notches. The nose is pure and expressive, showing lemon, green apple, sea air, crushed stone, and a distinctly maritime character, but with more flesh and ripeness than expected. There is real fruit here, not just minerality, and it gives the wine an inviting generosity without sacrificing tension.

The palate is where 2025 announces itself. Huge energy, huge acidity, and remarkable concentration. This is electric Chablis. The fruit is bright and mouthwatering, but the acidity drives everything forward, carrying waves of limestone, oyster shell, and mineral intensity across an exceptionally long finish. There is real depth and persistence here, flirting with Premier Cru quality at times, while remaining unmistakably village Chablis in character. A textbook expression of the appellation, full of nerve, precision, and classic Dampt tension. One of the strongest examples of this bottling I can remember tasting.
