2006 and 2005
}
2006 Chablis Bougros ___________________ 84.99
“…robust and well muscled flavors that possess real size and
weight plus ample dry extract that coats the mouth on the
delicious but serious finish that is brimming with Chablis
character.” Allen Meadows, Burghound, rated 90-93/100
2005 Chablis Bougros ___________________ 69.99
“…big, muscular and robust flavors that are quite rich but
not heavy or rustic, all wrapped in a sappy and palate staining
finish. This is more mineral than usual as well, particularly in
the context of the vintage.” Allen Meadows, Burghound, rated
91-93/100
2006 Chablis Bougros Côte de Bouguerots _______ 89.99
“I have always very much liked the character of this wine as
it manages to pull off blending raw power with elegance and
not losing either element in the bargain.” Allen Meadows,
Burghound, rated 91-94/100
2006 Chablis Fourchaume _________________ 59.99
“…this is a great ’06 by any definition and it’s one that will
definitely repay medium term aging.” Allen Meadows,
Burghound, rated 90-93/100
2005 Chablis Fourchaume _________________ 39.99
“…Full-bodied yet impeccably precise and detailed full-bodied
flavors that possess ample dry extract and stunning
length. This is presently quite cool and reserved yet the
underlying material is undeniable. Impressive.” Allen
Meadows, Burghound rated 91-93/100
2006 Chablis Fourchaume-Vignoble de Vaulorent ____ 59.99
“Absolutely gorgeous and a grand cru in all but name.” Allen
Meadows, Burghound, rated 91-94/100
2005 Chablis Fourchaume Vignoble de Vaulorent ____ 59.99
“Séguier calls this their ‘baby grand cru’ as specific barrels are
selected for vine age, concentration and power. A superbly
elegant nose of white flowers and citrus that is perfumed,
stylish, high-toned and pure combines with round, precise,
intense and strikingly detailed flavors that are quite powerful
yet focused and rather linear at present. As Séguier suggests,
this is easily of grand cru quality and by far and away the best
er among these ‘05s.” Allen Meadows, Burghound, rated 91-
94/100
2006 Chablis Les Clos ___________________ 109.99
“A great wine with a long future… ” Allen Meadows,
Burghound, rated 92-95/100
2006 Chablis Les Preuses _________________ 89.99
“This is positively stunning, certainly in an absolute sense
but particularly so in the context of the vintage. One to look
for.” Allen Meadows, Burghound, rated 92-95/100
2005 Chablis Les Preuses _________________ 79.99
“…The Preuses is really something in 2005.” Allen Meadows,
Burghound, rated 92-95/100
2006 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre ____________ 57.99
“This wine impressed me to no end for sense of balance and
harmony.” Allen Meadows, Burghound, rated 91-93/100
2005 Chablis Montee de Tonnerre ____________ 59.99
“…Gorgeously intense flavors that feature an explosively
Long finish. This has real energy to it plus grand cru caliber
class…” Allen Meadows, Burghound, , rated 90-93/100
2006 Chablis Montmains _________________ 39.99
“…balanced, precise and detailed middle weight flavors, all
wrapped in a long finish…This is a lovely wine in every
respect plus it will age.” Allen Meadows, Burghound, rated
89-92/100
2005 Chablis Montmains _________________ 34.99

with excellent length and plenty of finishing citrus notes.”

concen-
88-91/100
2005 Chablis Vaillons ___________________ 54.99
“This is also quite ripe with upper register yellow fruit,
spice and lovely iodine nuances that lead to sweet, textured,
intense and vibrant middle weight flavors offer very good
delineation and excellent finishing punch on the noticeably
dry finale.” Allen Meadows, Burghound. Rated 89-91/100
2006 Chablis Valmur ____________________ 99.99
“Terrific” Allen Meadows, Burghound, , rated 92-94/100

context of the vintage. One to look for.” Allen Meadows,
Burghound, rated 92-95/100
