Samuel jokes that this is ‘Petit Chablis deluxe’. It comes from a parcel just above Grand Cru Les Clos, and is a rare example of Petit Chablis grown on a high proportion of Kimmeridgian, rather than purely Portlandian, limestone. Although Samuel does not distinguish within his range, all the fruit here comes from his own vines, i.e. ‘domaine’. Indeed, it’s one of the parcels he was most determined to hang onto after splitting from his family estate in 2009. It is focused and precise, with lemon zest and salty minerality running through it, and a peachy, smooth as silk length.
Yields were a very modest 20 hl/ha. Pale in colour, beautifully lively, such racy energy in Samuel’s wines. Dancing on a head of a green pin, stones take up the finish. Tendrils of something riper, but this will please purists a lot. Long and classy. Drink from 2026-2027. Tasted Jun 2025.
