Mosnier Chablis 2009
NZD $36.95 NZD $33.95
Excellent example of a producer that combines the best of traditional winemaking with a modern approach. Straight Chablis will drink beautifully over the next 4-5 years, a little young at the moment however it is loaded with fresh fruits, citrus and clean crisp acidity, very flinty and refreshing but it still has an under layer of opulence and intensity that eventually will come to the forefront within the next 4-5 years. A perfect example of wonderful Chablis. Drink now or cellar for 4-5 years.

Mosnier Chablis Vielles Vignes 2009
NZD $39.95 NZD $36.95
Sylvian Mosnier is an aristocratic producer with a tradition of excellence in Chablis, this is his old vines that in many cases, represents excellent value for money, almost as good as a 1er Cru but without the price. His 2009 is composed, focused and tense with lovely minerality, softly textured and abundant in acidity. Something that will drink very well within the next 4-5 years due to its freshness and also even if it’s capable of aging, Chablis when young can be extremely refreshing and flinty and this is how it is! Flinty, perfumed, mineral and profound. Excellent when young but it will also develop for 4-5 years.

Domaine Laffay Cote de Lechet 1er Cru 2009
NZD $49.95 NZD $46.95
Out of Stock
This is farmed on a .20 hectare planted in 1989. Cote de Lechet (1er Cru by nature) tends to be lighter and more subdued however more perfumed and suave than other 1er Cru. The 2009 is obviously still a baby but it already offers an array of minerals, freshness and mouth watering acidity. It will develop for at least 6-7 years and in the process it will broaden but yet it will always remain classic Chablis of great focus and purity. Cellar for 6-7 years.

Vinification is very traditional and artisan making it one of the most terroir driven wines in the world. Yields are very restricted, harvest is done by hand and vinification and elevage is strictly traditional. Full bodied, tense with immense concentration and power, mineral, focused with nerve and pedigree. Will cellar for 10 years plus.

Domaine Laffay Chablis 2008
NZD $36.95 NZD $33.95
Classical Chablis this one, dry, mineral, crisp and bursting with freshness, clarity of fruit and medium body but always in balance, not austere or over done. Laffay is one of those producers that stays the course, his approach is very much hands off when it comes to winemaking he prefers the vineyard to do the talking and this is very much reflected in the wine. It will evolve over the next 4 years or so as it is a little young at present but I will be worth waiting for.
