Spent one year in barrel and offers a big step up from Petit Chablis, but still good value. All citrus, but with flickers of stone fruit and hazelnut, and a smidge of richness, but still drinks clean.

Garnier & Fils Chablis 2023

Waxy green fruits and a nice level of concentration. We love Petit Chablis, but we love it even more when it tastes more than Petit. If we could call this Moyenne (medium) Chablis, we would, but the French are touchy when it comes to naming wines. Oyster shell edges, smooth aromatics, salty inflection and that refreshing, minerally backbone. Yes, another glass, please.

Domaine Jolly et Fils Petit Chablis 2023

The soils here are also shallow and a bed of Kimmeridgian marl helps push through all that minerality. Monsieur Michel's bottles are full of tonic water bitterness that's kept fresh with citrus. and a little soft grapefruit.

Louis Michel Chablis Montee de Tonnerre 1er Cru 2021

A flowing Chablis full of depth over the palate with a round acidity that we could drink every day. Subtle green apple notes and some white blossom intertwine with that iconic cold stone wash.
