Chablis

90 points James Suckling"Here’s a well-crafted modern Chablis with plenty of ripe pear fruit and refreshing, but very well integrated lemony acidity that the touch of tannin at the finish neatly underlines. Not so complex, but the balance is...

92+ points Vinous“The 2020 Chablis Beauroy 1er Cru has a well-defined nose with attractive flint and undergrowth scents, unfolding almost coquettishly in the glass. With a proportional palate, there’s good acidity, and it’s taut and...

90 points Wine Spectator"A complex version, with apple, lemon, and oyster shell flavors shaded by a hint of oak. Succulent and balanced, with "drink me" appeal." Vinous Reverie NotesThe Grossots take great pride in their Chablis, which comes from very...

100 points Vinous"The 2017 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru is a stunning wine that embodies all of the best qualities of Chablis today. A grand, sweeping wine, the Preuses possesses dramatic concentration and richness. And yet it remains so Chablis, so...

93 points Vinous"The 2020 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru has an arresting, gunflint-scented bouquet that has real focus and delineation. Wonderful. The palate is very well balanced with a sharp line of acidity. Good weight, a bit "mean" perhaps, yet there is...

93 points Allen Meadows - Burghound"This the first wine to display any appreciable level of reduction though it seems clear that the underlying fruit is ripe. There is fine underlying tension to the intensely mineral-driven middle weight plus...

95 points Decanter"Intriguing nose of lime and lemon zest, a hint of honey, then mineral, salty characters on the palate. A magnificent premier cru, this has the acidity and structure to age many years but is very fine already. The overall impression...

92 points Vinous"The 2017 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru is a bit compact in feel, but it more than makes up for that with its persistence and energy. Dried pear, spice, mint and crushed flowers are some of the many nuances that develop in...

93 points Decanter"Nutty mineral nose with ripe apple and a hint of honey. Tense backbone of acidity. Stony style with lovely length." Vinous Reverie NotesExpressive and delicate. White gold in color, a limpid and brilliant wine. Initially...

93 points Wine Enthusiast"Green apple and lemon-oil notes on this wine's nose come with insistent creaminess. The palate is concentrated and vivid freshness streams from its cool, profound core of tart, bright lemon freshness. Cooling chalkiness soothes...

Vinous Reverie NotesLike many wine-growing estates, the Jean-Claude Martin estate is first and foremost a family affair. Frederic and Claudia inherited it from their parents and took up the torch in 2018. Frederic works on the land. He looks after his...
