2017  1er Cru Mont de Milieu

1er Cru Mont de Milieu -- "Here too there is a whiff of wood present on the expressive and vaguely exotic nose that offers up notes of algae, iodine, white peach and seaweed. As is usually the case with this wine there is excellent volume, power, muscle and mid-palate density to the medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the almost painfully intense mineral-driven finish that flashes a bit of youthful austerity. This is terrific and offers excellent upside development potential." - 91-94/Sweet Spot Outstanding BH

Brothers Xavier and Jérôme Garnier share a passion for wine and the Chablis region, where their family has owned a 57-acre estate for many decades. While their father sold the grapes, the brothers began making their own wine in 1996, selling it to restaurants in and around Paris. Garnier & Fils uses traditional, environmentally friendly, organic practices; they harvest later than most, ferment with natural yeast and age the wines in very large barrels. Improving every year, this exciting estate is already achieving greatness with itsChablis, which offers a delicate salinity that reflects the vineyard's unique soil profile.

2016  Montee de Tonnerre

Montee de Tonnerre -- "There is a more classic Chablis character present on the lemon zest, white fruit and sea breeze aromas. The attractively textured medium-bodied flavors are more refined but not quite as intense on the less powerful if more persistent finish." - 90pts BH

This is top quality Chablis from a rising star producer - for white Burgundy lovers, these are not to be missed.

2016  Chablis 1er Cru

"Initially there is enough reduction to notice but aggressive swirling eventually reveals a ripe but restrained nose that is comprised by the pure essence of pear, apple, iodine and lemon rind. The supple but highly energetic flavors possess a sleek mouth feel and ample minerality that really emerges on the clean, focused and attractively dry finish. Good stuff and worth a look." - 91pts/Outstanding Burghound
