CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "This wine exhibits strength as well as richness. With a dense texture and powerful, warm yellow- and white-fruit flavors, its ripe character is supported by toast and a tight structure. Best from 2024."


Vinous - "The 2019 Chablis Les Blanchots Grand Cru is very well defined on the nose, where sea spray and oyster shell notes combine with citrus aromas. Hints of green olive emerge with time. The well-defined palate is taut on the entry, with hints of chai tea and chamomile infusing the white peach and citrus notes, and builds nicely toward a very composed finish. Superb."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2019 Chablis Grand Cru Les Blanchots wafts from the glass with notions of crisp orchard fruit, white peach, apple blossom, toasted almonds and vanilla pod. Full-bodied, concentrated and reserved, with good cut and back-end grip, it concludes with a long, delicately honeyed finish. Rating : 93+". 


Burghound - "Ripe and highly expressive aromas of petrol, quinine and iodine introduce solidly concentrated and decidedly powerful larger-scaled flavors where the sap coats the palate on the firm and mildly austere finale. Initially, the palate impression is seemingly approachable yet the longer the wine sat in the glass, the more restrained it became. As such, I suspect that this vibrant Blanchots is going to age for years. Worth considering."
