Rated wine (2020 guide) 90/100 (Excellent wine)
Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

Wine rated (2021 guide) 94/100
Rated estate (2022 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
Dominated by notes of chlorophyll and flowers in Mont de Milieu, whose intensity is perfectly balanced, with a finish featuring subtle, crisp bitterness.
About the estate:
This family-owned estate, established in Chablis since 1815, changed hands in 2014, becoming part of the Faiveley estate. This expanded Faiveley’s portfolio—already comprising 20 hectares of Chablis’s finest terroirs—to include four grands crus: Les Clos, Les Preuses, Vaudésir, and Les Blanchots; four premiers crus: Montée de Tonnerre, Mont-de-Milieu, Fourchaume, and Vaillons, as well as Chablis and Petit Chablis. Olivier Bailly was appointed estate manager in 2014 and quickly refined the winemaking process. Starting in 2016, the return to top quality became evident, and this estate is now one of the most reliable in Chablis.

About the wine:
The subtle nose of this wine reveals notes of lemon, hay, and chalk. These notes carry through to the palate, where they intertwine in beautiful harmony. The emphasis is on richness, marked by a crisp, chalky mid-palate and a zesty citrus brightness, despite the hot conditions of this vintage. It is a stony, elegant wine with beautiful depth.
