Yes, this is classic Chablis, where Chardonnay speaks with a clipped and flinty accent, but there’s also a beautiful, sunny aspect to this wine that I was not expecting.

It is very popular because of its low price point and wonderful drinkability. Tasting Notes Fresh, jammy cherry and cranberry fruit with a touch of peppery spice. You taste the fruitiness of the Gamay grape up front and then the structure of the Pinot Noir kicks in at mid palate. A pleasing combination of fruit and body.'

''Recently, at a lunch table with friends, we tasted this wine — it was bright, fun, and completely refreshing. The wine totally complimented the food and good, honest farmers grew the grapes. The Grenache Blanc and Roussanne in this blend hail from the tippy-toes of the Southwestern Rhône Valley where the attitude and exposition are truly Mediterranean. The juice is fermented in steel with natural yeast and the wine is left unoaked. I love this wine.' - Michele d'Aprix

'This is a very old school Beaujolais in the best sense: beautiful garnet color, beguiling aromatics, and a burst of refreshment in the mouth—and that burst is a savory, mineral, toothsome thing because of the domaine’s high elevations and because of Brouilly’s meager volcanic soils. '

'Built primarily from young-vines Syrah with a splash of Mourvèdre and tiny sprinklings of old Rhône varieties like Picpoul Noir, Vaccarèse, Muscardin, and Counoise, “Energie” is vinified and aged in a combination of cement and steel tanks for one year with no added sulfur. The long but gentle infusion-method of extraction gives this wine great clarity of line, with pure, ringing acidity and a tasteful spiciness that speaks more of the northern Rhône than the frequently coarse Syrah of these southerly zones; its name could hardly be more apt.'

'The 2018 Chablis Dessus la Carrière confirms its impressive showing from tank last year, offering up aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, dried white flowers, crisp peaches and smoke. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, its ample attack segueing into a tensile, incisive mid-palate before concluding with a mineral finish. This is well worth seeking out.' (wine advocate)

This comes from 12 parcels and is invariably chock full of flinty seashell essence, making it a quintessential Chablis.

'The name translates as 'over the quarry,' for the two parcels that are reserved for this wine grow above an old quarry in a bed of pure Kimmeridgian limestone, essentially one mammoth roche mère, or mother rock. Both parcels were planted in the 1970s, one with a clone, the other with a sélection massale, and the two cover just under five acres of ground. The layer of top soil is so thin here that there is a dead zone where nothing grows in the center of the parcels. These two parcels are always the first to be harvested by the Picqs, and the last to be bottled.'

Cherry notes with good minerality and pretty, velvety tannins.

'This is the workhorse wine of the domaine both for the Thévenet family and for us. The grapes for this cuvée are sourced from four separate parcels within Pierreclos: “Margots”, “Le Château”, “Les Grands Buys” and “La Bucherate”. The average age of the vines is forty-five years. '

'Nice extraction. Rather masculine, with blackberry and coffee notes. Finishes with moderate tannins.'
