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.

2014  Mont de Milieu

2014 Chablis 1er Cru 'Mont de Milieu' -- There is only a trace of the hallmark exotic fruit nuances of a fine Mont de Milieu; indeed the nose is quite restrained while offering ample amounts of Chablis character. The energetic and super-intense medium-bodied flavors possess excellent richness and plenty of dry extract that is buffered by citrus-tinged acidity on the impressively long and sappy finale. This is relatively generous to be so young and it should also drink well on the younger side yet have no problem aging successfully. --92pts/Outstanding, BH

For those of you who love the crisp, chalky salinity of fine Chablis, the name Billaud should ring a few bells. From AC to Grand Cru, these are layered wines rife with crunchy oyster shell and silex, and exhibit a range of flavor profiles from licorice to white peach to toasty baguette. This is top quality Chablis from a rising star producer - for white Burgundy lovers, these are not to be missed.
