Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot

When Sebastien casually mentioned to me that he had produced a Grand Cru in 2018 my ears pricked right up! As someone who produces Petit Chablis that betters most Chablis and Chablis V.V. that is better than many 1er Cru - it was brilliant news for Sebastien and it's Blanchot, right across the way from his vines in Montée de Tonnerre. The perfect Grand Cru in these days of golbal warming. Blanchot produces superb, steely wines and it is the top vineyard for some producers (Laroche, Billaud-Simon) It always produces discreet, floral wines that have the capacity to age very well. Banchots refers to the very white colour of the soil, it. Put this wine away for a few more years whilst you enjoy the others.
