Robert Parker
"Aromas of pear, citrus oil, and dried white flowers introduce the 2018 Petit Chablis, a medium-bodied, elegantly fleshy wine with lively acidity and a salty finish. Bottled under Diam, it will drink well young." (Wine Advocate 2020)

Beautiful pale golden yellow color with green highlights
Nose
Generous, clean, frank, and lively, with ripe fruit and no hint of greenness, expressing lemon and white flowers against a restrained minerality.
Mouth
Attack in harmony with the youthful, lively nose; the mellowness is slightly overshadowed by the liveliness of the fruit, lemon, grapefruit, apple.

About the estate:
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2022 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
This family estate, established in Chablis since 1815, changed hands in 2014, passing into the fold of the Faiveley house, which thus expanded its holdings, already rich with 20 hectares of the finest Chablis terroirs, with 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 Petits Chablis. Olivier Bailly was appointed manager in 2014 and quickly refined the management of the vineyards. Since 2016, the return to high quality has been evident, and this estate is now one of the most reliable in Chablis.
