90 Points - Gilbert et Gaillard | Double Gold Medal (2022 Vintage)
"Nose of white flowers, peach, pear and fresh almond. Very harmonious, very pure palate, combining a pleasant liveliness with a beautiful roundness. Fresh white fruit flavours are king. A little one playing in the big leagues."
Background Information:
Sylvain Mosnier (pronounced ‘Monnier’), a motor mechanic, has produced Chablis since1978 when his wife inherited her Chablis based family’s vineyards. He made quality wines but it was not until his daughter Stephanie came home from both winemaking college and from a period gaining experience in other well-known wineries that the quality really took a jump into the realm of the serious, unwooded, lower-to-midrange priced best values in all of Chablis.
The winery has been cleverly and strategically designed with rectangular tanks stacked on top of each other, acting as walls as high 8-15 metres, rather than the space consuming circular tanks that we are used to in this country. Every square meter of the comparatively tiny central area is used to its greatest effect. Very practical, very clever. The tasting cellar, though, is very old and underground in the old village of Beines, 6kms (or 8 minutes) to the west of Chablis.
