Rated estate (2021 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
This charming couple of winemakers has taken a significant step forward by switching to organic viticulture, which began earning certification with the 2014 vintage. The grapes’ beautiful ripeness is well balanced by a lively acidity derived from the limestone soils, and barrel aging is increasingly designed to preserve the nuances of the terroir. Grown on a very distinctive subsoil known as “Hauterivien,” the Petit-Chablis is consistently remarkable for its richness; the red wine from the Yonne is among the very best in the region; and the Premier Crus from the Poinchy area (Léchet, Beauroy, Fourchaume) are now reliable choices for wine lovers. Like others in the area, the estate unfortunately suffered from the weather conditions of the 2016 vintage. Sadly, 2017 began with a terrible frost… Hence the “grain-de-survie” cuvée, sold through wine merchants, to offer a small amount of wine to regular customers. The “Petits-Chablis” and generic Chablis wines lack their usual precision, while the Premier Crus will hold up better. We can’t wait for the 2018s!

Wine rated (2027 guide) 93/100
Rated Estate (2022 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:
Isabelle and Denis Pommier settled in the village of Poinchy in 1990, with 2 hectares of vineyards (23 today). Some of the Premier Cru wines undergo partial fermentation in oak, and all winemaking is carried out using native yeasts. The entire production is of impeccable quality, particularly the entry-level wines. Certified organic since 2014, this estate has produced superb wines that are always well-ripened, though they do not always exhibit the desired freshness: with regret, we are removing the star, hoping for a return to better balance in the near future.

About the wine:
Aromas of ripe fruit, similar to those in the Croix aux Moines. Not noticeably more intense than that wine, but round and ripe (by Chablis standards). It almost seems as if there are a few grams of residual sugar, even though that seems highly unlikely. 2026–2030
