The 2015 Chablis Les Butteaux 1er Cru was actually ordered from the list at "Au Fil du Zinc" restaurant. What a fabulous Chablis! Oyster shell and slivers of white peach on the nose, a hint of orange pith developing later – the aromatics have wonderful definition. The palate is beautifully balanced with a slightly viscous texture, veins of white peach and apricot with an underlying mineralité to maintain tension. Wonderful! (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2018)

This baby has on one hand, a certain minerality akin to oyster shell and at the same time a lemon zest with peach peaking through. And a great value. . I'll find more of this.

Naturally fermented Chablis from premier cru? Wonderful creamy fruity nose (banana and citrus). The palate reaches from pears to chalky minerals with a subtle tanginess. Rich and very well balanced!

“We want stoniness, saltiness and acidity, but use old oak barrels to help smooth the wines out.” - Eleni Vocoret
“exhibiting notes of fresh bread, citrus oil, beeswax, white flowers and pear. Medium to full-bodied, layered and precise, with fine mid-palate amplitude and a saline finish.” RP91-93, 2020
