"The 2014 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot has a clean, precise bouquet with notes of cold stone, green apple and fresh pear, displaying more minerality than others in this Grand Cru. The palate is crisp and fresh with superb minerality, just a hint of reduction towards the finish, but there's clearly lovely substance and intensity. The wine shows impressive persistence with a grippy, granite-like length. This is an impressive Blanchot." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2018 guide) 15.5/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Chablis' leading producer always delivers a faithful interpretation of the appellation, thanks to the precise, meticulous work of oenologist Vincent Bartement. As always, the wines are presented with a vintage gap, this year 2016, a complicated vintage but one in which Mont-de-Milieu fares very well. Other terroirs that are usually successful at the winery are tasting a little less well, so let's wait for the 2017s!

Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (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 domain :
The largest producer in Chablis is one of France's top cooperatives, as adept at sales as it is at winemaking. Among the many cuvées produced, it is necessary to know how to sort out the best, but all the wines benefit today from perfect technical mastery in pressing and ageing on lees. The great specialties are the Chablis Vieilles Vignes, with its great consistency, and the heavy-bottled Premier Crus, which rival the best produced by private cellars, not forgetting the famous Grand Cru Château Grenouilles, which should not be drunk too young! The entry-level wines have made good progress, losing their characteristic notes of reduction. La Chablisienne is in fine form!
