Goedhuis, December 2022
For many this is Chablis’s grandest Grand Cru and the Pinsons have a substantial 2.5 hectare holding. A wine of such structure supports having 20% of the fruit vinified in new oak. Aromatically this is bright and fresh with a fine twist of lemon zest. On the palate it slowly unfolds, from its initial sense of reserve to build in both flavour and structure. Floral, with a sensation of spring air and oyster shell minerality, it is subtle in its intensity and has years of life in it.

Burghound, October 2022, Score: 92-95
A deft but not invisible application of wood sets off ripe yet cool aromas of citrus peel, pear and apple compote along with hints of mineral reduction and oyster shell. There is excellent volume and impressive mid-palate density to the larger-scaled flavors that flash focused power on the youthfully austere and superbly long finale that exhibits a touch of wood. This classy effort is very promising and built to reward extended keeping. Drink 2033+

Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 93-95
Paler colour here, and a clearly backward nose. Not that it stuns you with its power from the outset, but there is clearly more to this wine – which was properly protected from the frost, with only the upper section suffering. All in white fruit, a little tension, some marine qualities, discreet and quite long. Lovely salinity to finish. Drink from 2027-2035.

The Pinson family vie with the Droins as one of the oldest in the town, with documents showing their presence back in 1640, while 1880 shows the first records of Louis Pinson selling bottles of their wine under the family label. It is now run by brothers Christophe and Laurent, joined by Laurent’s daughter, Charlène. The family team oversee 12 hectares of vineyards, including 2.5 hectares of Les Clos and 4.75 hectares of Mont de Milieu, from which they make extraordinarily fine and classical Chablis. They like to use oak barrels for maturation, although the influence of new oak is only ever a gentle whisper in the background of their steely wines. Their wines consistently show the raciness and elegance of fine Chablis.Read less

Region
Chablis
Chablis is world famous for its fine white wines produced from the Chardonnay grape. The best vineyards are perched above the winding Serein river and are south or southwest facing ensuring better ripeness in this cooler climate. It has four appellation levels. Petit Chablis is the most modest and simple followed by Chablis, which is the largest and most prominent. Premier cru Chablis is the third largest appellation and encompasses almost 40 different climats or vineyards including the famed Montée de Tonnerre, Fourchaumes and Mont de Milieu. The most noble of all Chablis are the grand crus of which there are 7 climats in total Bougros, Les Preuses, Vaudésir, Grenouilles, Valmur, Les Clos and Blanchot. The wines of Chablis have remained some of the best value in the world, particularly their superb grand crus which can easily cost 50% less than its closest revered white grand cru neighbour, Corton Charlemagne.
