Beautiful, juicy nose that offers brightness and deepness. Nicely marked by its terroir. It reveals notes of zest, mesocarp and small notes of flat peach associated with a slight hint of mandarin blossom as well as a very discreet hint of exotic fruits. The mouth is fruity, well-balanced, beautifully gourmand and offers minerality, a small fat, suavity, tension, roundness, juiciness as well as an aerial side. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy lemon, juicy/pulpy white peach and small notes of crushed nectarine associated with a touch of crushed pear as well as hints of white flowers, zest as well as a subtle mineral/racy touch. Good length.

I like the clarity here with sliced apples, pears and lemon rind. Some blanched almonds. Creamy and balanced with a medium body. Drink now. (Stuart Pigott, June 2024)

A more mineral and aromatic width. Intense, a more sour style vs the Chitry. Complex, slightly reductive finishing flavours - but long too. (UK, March 2024)

Not as broad a nose as the Saint-Bris but with a good airy freshness. Intense - acid forward - a bit of austerity for sure. Let's see how this wine grows before commercialization. It's rather frank today.

This has attractive pears and peaches with some pear custard, leading to a palate that has attractive freshness and an easygoing, smooth, melon and pear finish. Drink now.

This would be a great choice for anyone who enjoys Chablis but would also like a wine with plenty of fruit and no oak to obscure it. Lovely citrus character. Clean and rather long finish. Drink now or in 2019 and 2020.
- Simonnet-Febvre Petit Chablis 2015 - 90/100 - James Suckling - April 2017
Pretty aromas of hay and cement with dried-berry and apple character. Medium body, fresh acidity and an attractive cooked-apple and pear finish. Drink now.
