Richer nose, but very appealing. Broad rich lemon and yellow apple, touch of blossom and spice. Very harmonious. Lovely power on the palate, great bead of salinity running through. Builds up nicely, finishing in a very clean, dry finish. L&S (Dec 2023)

*Case price discount: Mix any 12 bottles of wine (or 9 litre equivalent) or 6 bottles of Champagne, Spirits, Sweet Wine or Fortified (4.5 litres) to get the discounted 'case price' for each bottle.

(this used to be labeled as Beauroy). Much like the Croix aux Moines, subtle if perceptible wood influence surrounds the ripe and fresh blend of green apple, citrus confit, white peach and sea breeze hints. The rich, caressing and punchy medium-bodied flavors flash a bead of minerality on the chiseled, mildly austere and very dry finale. This is lovely if somewhat atypical as the descriptor ‘chiseled’ and Troëmes are rarely seen together. Worth checking out. Drinking range: 2029 - Rating: 91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Oct 2024)

The 2022 Chablis Troesmes 1er Cru has a clean and precise bouquet with fine mineralité, touches of flint suffusing the malic fruit. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, lovely depth and deft use of oak. Faint hints of red fruit surprise on the finish of this quite delicious Chablis from one of its lesser-known climats. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis. Drinking range: 2025 - 2034 Rating: 92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Aug 2024)

Cask sample. Smells riper than the Croix aux Moines, more pear than citrus. Invitingly dusty/mineral nose. On the palate, creamy, rounded but shot through with bright acidity. Direct, long. Drinking range: 2027 - 2035 Rating: 17 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2024)

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)
