(from Côte de Troëmes). A ripe yellow orchard fruit nose displays top notes of mineral reduction, citrus and a softly exotic character. There is fine richness to the generously proportioned and luscious medium weight flavors that also possess plenty of palate coating dry extract before terminating in a lemony and moderately dry finish where a touch of wood surfaces. This delicious effort should drink well young. 2016+ Rating: 90 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2015)

Le Beauroy has a mineral nose with toasted notes. Full and rich in the mouth with a fine expression of the terroir. A racy wine. Winemaker's notes (Jan 2014)

Brilliantly forthright fruit with a tremendous chalkiness and intensity. Smooth, rounded and bursting with juicy green fruit. 2014-2020 Rating: 17 Richard Hemming MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2014)

Domaine Denis Pommier

Founded when the Pommiers inherited 2 hectares of vines in 1990. Isabelle and Denis bottled their first wine in 1994 and now have 23 hectares of vineyards, which are certified organic (which sadly cost them dearly in terms of lost crop in 2016 and 2017) and run according to biodynamic principles. Further reading is available in the form of Denis' book 'Les Larmes de Ma Vigne', published in 2020.

The Petit Chablis is a model of brisk freshness - made entirely in stainless steel - while the Premier Crus in benefit from a small amount of barrel-fermentation and élevage. The two named 'lieu-dits' of Chablis 'village', Les Reinettes and Croix aux Moines, are about a hectare in total. The Troësmes is within the larger premier cru 'Beauroy'. The Pommiers think this 'best bit' deserves to be identified by its correct name. It is relatively rounder, while the Côte de Léchet is the one for fans of the slatier, crystalline side of minerality. Keep either of the premiers crus for four to six years.

Petit Chablis 9.5 ha (+ 2 planted not yet in production)
Chablis 6ha
Chablis Reinettes and Chablis Croix aux Moines 1ha - a north-facing slope which catches the sun late in the day. Reinettes is on pure Kimmeridgian clay, under Croix au Moines, which is on a thinner soil at the top of the hill, both in the same sector as Côte de Léchet.
Chablis 1er cru Troësmes 1.8ha - white marl, facing due south.
Chablis 1er cru Cote de Léchet 1.1 ha - chalky, south-east-facing.
Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume .8 ha - a very steep hot south-west facing slope.

From four different plots. Quite restrained on the nose. However, there is good concentration of fruit on the palate. Some toasty notes too. Not as powerful as some and perhaps lacking a shade of complexity to push it in...(read more)
