This vintage is just as strong as Servin’s 17 vintage Les Clos grand cru.
Vivid nose of honeysuckle and brioche explode from the stem. Palate is multi-layered and compact. Very tropical and contemporary expression of Chablis. This is just how we like these chards, and at $35 (Sokolin) it’s hard to improve upon. I’d welcome your proposals for comparison. We are always searching for new gems at the right price.

The 2017 Chablis Butteaux 1er Cru is silky, precise and nuanced. In this tasting, the Butteaux is one of the more understated, gracious premier crus. Silky and racy with lovely inner perfume, the 2018 has a lot to offer. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2020)

Wow. Just when I can’t take another slim, emaciated glass of lemon water, I luck out and get an old-school Chablis that isn’t afraid to show its class. Rich, but still refined and inspired.

Just the right amount of fruit with the acidity. This is drinking very well even at such a young stage. Another crowd-pleaser.

'12 vintage - Took about 3 hrs to open up but worth it. Classic Butteaux: sea water, salinity and minerals. Will be terrific in a few years.
