2014 Pouilly-Fuisse
Les Brules -- "Generous but not dominant wood frames a broad-ranging nose of citrus, pear, white peach, apple and floral scents. The delicious and punchy middle weight flavors possess slightly better depth and length on the balanced finale. As usual this is an extremely rich and generously proportioned effort but one where the bright and moderately firm acidity serve to maintain the balance. As such this should be more than capable of repaying 4 to 6 years of cellar time." - 91pts/Outstanding Burghound

2016 Pouilly-Fuisse
"The 2016 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Brûlés is a richer, ampler wine than the Combottes, wafting from the glass with notes of musky peach, citrus blossom and a spicy framing of new oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and foursquare, with good tangy acids and a saline finish despite its scale and power. It's matured in 100% new wood, but it has digested it remarkably well." - 92pts WA

2019
89-91 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous ---- The 2019 Chablis Village is matured in stainless steel tank for 10 months. It has a tightly wound bouquet with scents of orange blossom and a touch of tinned apricot; good delineation here. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, and lively from the start, offering plenty of citrus fruit joined by desiccated orange peel and a touch of spice on the finish. Excellent.

2020 Cotes d'Auxerre Blanc
Cotes d'Auxerre Blanc ---- "Lavallée's 2020 Bourgogne Côtes d'Auxerre Blanc is very promising, offering up notes of citrus, Anjou pear, green apple and white flowers. Medium-bodied, elegantly fleshy and concentrated, it's fine-boned but intensely flavored. It's produced from deep but stony soils and, in total, amounts to a mere four barrels." - 88-90pts William Kelley, Wine Advocate ---- One of my most exciting discoveries in Chablis and the Auxerrois was fledgling Domaine Clément Lavallée. Clement's father is the proprietor of a substantial, modern and mechanized domaine in Saint-Bris, but Clément's aspirations were more artisanal. He started his own label in 2019, with just 3.5 hectares supplemented by purchased fruit - a surface that's grown to 5.5 hectares today. Eschewing herbicides, he cultivates the soils with lightweight tractors and keeps chemical treatments to the minimum. Working with a variety of sites and cépages, harvest lasts a full month. In the cellar, whites see a long pressing, with Clément selling in bulk any juice that doesn't please him, and reds see long macerations with a percentage of whole bunches. Élevage takes place in used wood on the lees, and the wines are never pumped. What I tasted on this first visit indicates that Lavallée hit the ground running with his very first vintage. Textural but incisive, pure and penetrating, I was immensely impressed by these young wines - from pungently mineral Chablis, to perfumed and intense reds, to Saint-Bris that's more Auxerrois than it is Sauvignon, everything here comes warmly recommended, and I encourage importers to beat a path to this new domaine's door.

2020 Les Copains d'Abord
Les Copains d'Abord ---- The 2020 Saint-Bris Les Copains d'Abord is lovely, exhibiting aromas of gooseberry, pear, orange oil, mint and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, with chalky grip and a penetrating finish, it transcends its cépage." - 90-92pts William Kelley, Wine Advocate ---- One of my most exciting discoveries in Chablis and the Auxerrois was fledgling Domaine Clément Lavallée.
