2020 Chablis, Domaine Jean Goulley
£2900Add to BasketDomaine Jean Goulley is well regarded for their mineral style of Chablis’s that have a purity and vivacity that pays homage to the Chablis of the past.
2020 is a very fine vintage which is not easy to compare to other years. Although the grapes ripened very early in the year, the dry weather and absence of heat spikes meant that grape quality and health was exceptional. It has been described as ‘a very classic vintage’ and very different from 2018 and 2019. Many producers have described it as the best since 2014!
In the glass, this 2020 Chablis has layers of concentration, with wonderful purity of fruit and the typical undertow of minerality that Goulley is renowned for. A fine thread of acidity focuses everything on the palate and the finish is mouthwatering.
Domaine Jean Goulley was formed in 1986 by Jean Goulley and is now run by his granddaughter Maud. Maud and her family believe in the ethos of organic farming along with that of minimal intervention; all of their vineyards are farmed organically. The vineyard is situated on the left bank of the River Sereine, where the vines are planted with an easterly orientation at an average altitude of 210 metres. The double Guyot trained vines are between 25 to 30 years old and are grown in Kimmeridgian soils, which are rich in clay and limestone with fossilised seashells. There is also the presence of Cailloux, large pebbles which help to promote ripening by absorbing the heat of the day and then radiating it at night. The vines are planted to a density of 5,700 vines per hectare and yields are kept to a maximum of 60 hectolitres per hectare. At Domaine Jean Goulley, they believe in highlighting terroir and produce their wines in an unoaked style, allowing them to reveal the purity, minerality and vitality of the soil.

2022 Chablis, Michel Gayot
£2950Add to BasketA lively, suave and mineral Chablis with citrus, floral and herbaceous notes leading to a fresh and crisp palate with lovely weight and a flinty note on the finish.
The vines are grown in the heart of the Chablis appellation, where the climate is continental. Cold winters allow the vine to rest and the sap to descend and warm summers, enable the grapes to ripen. The yields are carefully controlled to ensure the highest quality of fruit, by concentrating the flavours in the grapes. The vineyards are cultivated in the traditional manner in accordance with the appellation regulations, but also in order to respect the land and its environment and the biodiversity of the soil. The soils are predominantly Kimmeridgian, which comprise limestone and clay, from which the wines of Chablis draw their unique character, purity and minerality.

2020 `Reed` Marlborough Chardonnay, Blank Canvas
£2995Add to BasketA complex and layered single vineyard Chardonnay from Waihopai Valley in Marlborough, made by the Blank Canvas duo Matt Thomson and Sophie Parker Thomson. It shows fleshy white nectarine and orchard fruit, alongside a flint-focussed precision on the palate, with a grainy and honeyed richness. It shows crystalline purity, with powerful savoury oak, and layered complexity.
The Reed vineyard is home to growers Pete and Anne Reed. Situated at the mouth of the Waihopai Valley, they first planted vines on their land in 2001. The soil is low-vigour clay, with a naturally dry micro-climate. The vineyard is planted solely with Clone 95 Chardonnay, a Burgundian clone that Matt Thomson thinks is ideally suited to Marlborough. It is flavour ripe at modest sugar levels, and retains its acid, a balance that Matt likes.
