Chablis Grand Cru Les
BLANCHOTS vieille vigne 98
Chablis Grand Cru Les
PREUSES 98
" We
tasted the cellar. Blanchots vieille vigne, cited, and
Preuses one star, find their place here. Vaudésir, a notch
above, meets the vote. So mineral it could almost be chalky,
followed by the immediate sensation of biting into fruit.
Very mature, hovering between peach and apricot, it is a
grand all-rounder. To be left to age of course ".
Chablis Premier
Cru Les VAILLONS 98
" Founded
in the XIXth century, this Estate covering 20 hectares has belonged
to the same family since 1815. These VAILLONS 98 wines offer
themselves up very quickly: their spontaneity lies on
pleasing vivaciousness, a bouquet of citrus fruit and a
mineral note: enchantment for this year ".
Chablis
Cuvée Tête d'Or 98
" The
1998 Chablis that is not raised in casks is cited, but the
prize goes to this Cuvée Tête d'Or which recalls that in
the cemetery of Vézélay lies l'Ysée du partage de Midi.
Paul Claudel also loved Burgundy wines. While this Chablis
yeams to open up more, it has great class and will make an
excellent bottle in two to three years' time ". |

Chablis Premier
Cru MONTÉE de TONNERRE 98
" A
many-flowering head giving off aromas of mint, white peach,
acacia. it does not seek for volume. Its primary intention
is to please through its roundness and perfumed persistance.
This bottle can be uncorked in year 2000 and will
survive it!
For memory a coup de coeur: Mont de Milieu 94 in 1997 ".
Chablis Grand Cru Les
PREUSES 98
" On
almost equal ranking, and in 97 Vaudésir (soft and delicate) we
can recommend Blanchots vieille vigne (with fair wood
tones) and this one. Still very young, it has the
agile beauty of the delicate Chablis wines. Aromas of
Spring flowers, with reminiscence of pear. It is nicely shaped
and should not be left to age. Coup de coeur in the 1996
edition for the same wine 92 fashion ".
