Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2021) 90/100
Domaine noté (guide 2021) New domaine (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 wine:
Generous body, juicy profile reminiscent of ripe mirabelle plums. A square wine with substance.
About the domain :
With 29 hectares of vines (certified organic in 2018), this domaine, founded in 2016, is based on the vineyard kept by Romain and Damien Bouchard, the children of Pascal Bouchard, who in 2015 sold his trading business to the Albert Bichot house. In the grounds of a beautiful Chablis mansion, an underground cellar was built to house hand-harvested grapes, vinified with indigenous yeasts and with no input other than a little sulfur after pressing and at bottling. With 1.5 hectares in Grand Cru (Clos, Blanchot, Vaudésir), 8 hectares in Premier Cru (including Fourchaume, Mont de Milieu and Vau de Vey), and the rest in Chablis and Petit Chablis, this address has everything it takes to become a sure bet in the appellation. The generous, ripe wines may disconcert fans of refined Chablis, but they are renewing the local landscape.
