Chablis Premier Cru Vaillon AOC Chablis 1er Cru
The Vaillon vineyards lie on the left bank of the Serein river on gentle south-east facing slopes with good sun exposition. The 2018 is quite delicate, with great persistence on the palate. It was aged for six months on fine lees with no use of oak.

Chablis Premier Cru Mont de Milieu AOC Chablis 1er Cru
Mont de Milieu is more floral in nature and has a bit more structure than Vaillon in 2018. It is crisp with limey flavours and a long pithy finish. The Cru sits on the same side of the river as the Grand Cru vineyards, to the east of the Grand Crus on a slope facing directly south.

Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaumes AOC Chablis 1er Cru
The most expressive of the three premier Crus in 2018, Fourchaumes has ripe passionfruit, white peach, lemon and mandarin flavours. It is smooth with ripe white fruits and a bitter lemon finish. Fourchaumes faces south-west and lies to the west of the Grand Crus slope.
