A remarkable owner who manages, with his wife Hélène, and his son Vincent, a beautiful vineyard built up patiently over the years and which now covers 37 hectares, including about 10 in Premiers Crus and others in Chablis, Petit Chablis and grand cru, including a fantastic Valmur, one of the greats in Chablis. Gérard Tremblay is meticulous, hard-working and devoted to quality. This tenacious chap makes his wines using all the modern techniques in the name furthering traditional know-how. His strength is that he takes just as much care with the maturing of his Grands Crus as of his Chablis. In blind tasting, many would get quite a surprise at the quality of these wines.
Remarkable Chablis premier cru Côte de Léchet 2017, which combines structure and distinction, with its smoky scents very specific to the palate, where persistent notes of white fruits and honeysuckle blend, all in the end. Superb premier cru Montmains 2017, it is a distinguished wine, of a great classicism, very aromatic with notes of ripe fruit and white flowers, all in amplitude to the palate.
Beautiful Chablis premier cru Fourchaume 2018, racy, flowery nose, sweet but delicate, of a very beautiful aromatic persistence in mouth where blossom hints of honey and lily, all in the final.
The Chablis premier cru Beauroy 2017, is very typed, well scented and persistent, dry and complex in the mouth, smelling musk, lemon and hawthorn, all in the mouth. The 2016 has notes of hazelnut and honey, powerful, while delicate, very ample on the palate, a great wine racé, really remarkable for its structure and its length in the finish.
We also appreciate the exceptional Chablis grand cru Vaudésir 2017, with nuances of fresh berries and grilled, of a beautiful vivacity, of powerful mouth, dense, all shades, a wine combining finesse and structure, very mineral. The 2016, with aromas of toasted hazelnut, yellow in color with hints of gold, is intense and refined, all in charm, of good balanced mouth, with notes of peach and toasted bread, also very well raised.
There is still the Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2018, beautiful pale yellow color, with a fresh nose of white flowers and citrus, very well balanced, with connotations of small dried fruits and pear on the palate, of distinguished mouth.
The Chablis 2018, combining power and distinction, is very elegant, all in finesse, with the nose of flowers and musk, still a bit young, and the Petit Chablis 2018 is still charming by its nervousness in the palate.
