La Chablisienne - Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet 2018
91/100
Vinous
"This 1er cru from La Chablisienne offers the perfect balance of Chardonnay's amplitude of flavors and vibrant freshness.
"The 2018 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru comes from 25-year-old vines and is aged in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. It has a light, airy bouquet of apple blossom that would benefit from a little more presence. Well-balanced on the palate, with good acidity. Notes of white peach and Conference pear are well defined, and a welcome touch of spice appears on the finish. This is a Côte de Léchet to drink young, but delicious nonetheless. 2020-2027" (Vinous 2020)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Chablis' leading producer always delivers a faithful interpretation of the appellation, thanks to the precise, meticulous work of oenologist Vincent Bartement. As always, the wines are presented with a vintage gap, this year 2016, a complicated vintage but one in which Mont-de-Milieu fares very well. Other terroirs that are usually successful at the winery are tasting a little less well, so let's wait for the 2017s!

Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
The largest producer in Chablis is one of France's top cooperatives, as adept at sales as it is at winemaking. Among the numerous cuvées produced, it is necessary to know how to sort out the best, but all the wines benefit today from perfect technical mastery in pressing and ageing on lees. The great specialties are the Chablis Vieilles Vignes, with its great consistency, and the heavy-bottled Premier Crus, which rival the best produced by private cellars, not forgetting the famous Grand Cru Château Grenouilles, not to be drunk too young! The entry-level wines have made good progress, losing their characteristic notes of reduction. La Chablisienne is in fine form!
