Rating: RVF 17/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15.5/20
“Powerful, with peppery notes on the palate. Well-balanced, rich, and distinctly Blanchot in character. ” (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2011 - Bettane & Desseauve). The Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot is a wine that is both rare and precise, made from old vines located on the right side of the Grands Crus hill, facing the Montée de Tonnerre. A must-try!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
Chablis’s leading producer consistently delivers a faithful interpretation of the appellation, thanks to the precise and meticulous work of winemaker Vincent Bartement. As always, the wines are released with a one-year delay; this year’s 2016 vintage was a challenging one, but the Mont-de-Milieu terroir fared very well. Other terroirs that the winery usually handles well taste a bit less impressive; let’s wait for the 2017s!

Rated estate (2020 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
The largest producer of Chablis is among the best cooperatives in France, demonstrating equal skill in business and winemaking. With so many cuvées produced, it can be difficult to choose, but all the wines now benefit from flawless technical expertise in pressing and aging on the lees. The standout specialties are the consistently excellent Chablis Vieilles Vignes and the Premier Crus in heavy bottles, which rival the finest offerings from private estates, not to mention the famous Grand Cru Château Grenouilles—which should not be drunk too young! The entry-level wines have improved significantly and have shed the reductive notes that once characterized them. La Chablisienne is in fine form!

Too mineral for my taste, but full-bodied on the palate
