"Côte de Léchet offers a singular profile, with notes of almonds, a spicy, energetic flesh, prolonged by subtle salivating bitters. This is a superb, ripe, vibrant Chablis" (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2020- RVF).

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2020 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

Domaine rated (2021 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Open and greedy, with a range of white fruits (lychee) and roots (celery), the palate is tonic and upright, full-bodied. A little atypical for the vintage in its aromatic register.

About the domain :

This friendly winegrowing couple have taken a step forward by opting for organic viticulture, which began to be certified with the 2014 vintage. The beautiful ripeness of the grapes is well-balanced by a tonic acidity derived from the limestone soils, and barrel vinification is increasingly respectful of the nuances of the terroirs. Petit-Chablis is regularly remarkable for its richness, while the Yonne red is one of the region's very best. The Premier Crus of the Poinchy area (Léchet, Beauroy, Fourchaume) are today reliable sources for wine lovers. Like others around it, the domaine unfortunately suffered from the climatic conditions of the 2016 vintage. Alas, 2017 began with a terrible frost... Hence the cuvée grain-de-survie, in the trade, to offer a little wine to the usual clientele. The generic petits-chablis and chablis don't have the same precision as usual, so the premiers crus will hold up better. We can't wait for the 2018s!

Domaine noté (guide 2022) 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 wine:

Côte de Léchet offers a singular profile, with notes of almonds, a spicy, energetic flesh, prolonged by subtle salivating bitters. This is a superb, ripe, vibrant Chablis!

About the domain :

Isabelle and Denis Pommier set up in the village of Poinchy in 1990, with 2 hectares of vines (now 23). Some Premier Crus undergo partial fermentation in wood, and all vinification is carried out using indigenous yeasts. The entire production is of impeccable quality, especially the entry-level wines. Certified organic since 2014, this estate has produced some superb wines, always very ripe, but not always fresh: with regret, we withdraw the star, hoping for a return to better balance soon.
