Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated 89/100 (Very good wine)
Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
From the estate's vineyards, the 2018 Chablis Tête d'Or presents notes of crisp golden orchard fruit, dried white flowers, peach and light honey, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, satiny and straightforward palate, deeper and more concentrated than the usual bottling.
About the domain :
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (guide 2021) 93/100
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the wine:
The Tête d'Or has a fresh, lemony nose, a ripe, full-bodied Chablis, persistent and very precise in its flavors, with excellent bitters on the finish.
About the domain :
This family estate, established in Chablis since 1815, changed hands in 2014, becoming part of the Faiveley family, which thus expanded its portfolio, already comprising 20 hectares of the finest Chablis terroirs, with four Grand Crus: Les Clos, Les Preuses, Vaudésir and Les Blanchots; four Premier Crus: Montée de Tonnerre, Mont-de-Milieu, Fourchaume and Vaillons, as well as Chablis and Petit Chablis. Olivier Bailly was appointed régisseur in 2014, and quickly refined the management of the elevages. From 2016 onwards, the return of high quality is evident, and this address is now one of the safest in Chablis.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 92/100
About the wine:
A subtle, flinty reduction note gives way to creamy, chalky lemon on this wine's appetizing nose. The unexpected juiciness and ripeness of the hot summer invade the palate. The round, full, chalky texture adds freshness. The finish still offers lovely chalky notes.
