CHARTRON ET TRÉBUCHET POUILLY FUISSE 2022 Wine Align Rated 90 Points The wine is a beautiful, pale gold with green highlights that lead to an elegant nose with mineral (flint) and citrus (lemon, grapefruit) notes. The aromatic finesse finds its complexity on the palate with notes of roasted peanuts. The palate is rich and tense, with a minerality that dominates the finish. Perfect with noble seafood (gambas, lobsters, crayfish); with foie gras and white meats with a creamy sauce (veal or poultry). Sushi pairs perfectly with its minerality. Ideal with goat cheese. $43.99 $56.99 CHARTRON ET TRÉBUCHET 2020 POMMARD The Pommard is deep red with ruby highlights. The red fruits blend elegantly with toast and spice notes. The wine is ample and generous on the palate, with superb tannins on the finish. Aging will bring complexity. Enjoy the Pommard with grilled red meat with sauce, beef steak, lamb, or poultry stew, which pairs well with the firm texture of the tannins and concentrated flavors. Cheeses with flavors developed: Epoisses, Langres, Soumaintrain, Livarot, Pont-l’Evêque but also Comté. Cellar potential: Drink within 8 years. $72.99 $92.99 CHARTRON ET TRÉBUCHET BOURGOGNE ROUGE PINOT NOIR 2022 It is ruby red with a pleasant aromatic typicity and little red fruit notes, like blackcurrant and gooseberry. The palate is ripe with rich tannins and aromas of spice and toast. A gourmet wine, typical of its appellation, it pairs well with rabbit, lamb, duck, grilled meats, beef and veal, vegetarian dishes, gratins, and an assortment of cheeses. $27.99 $35.99 CHARTRON ET TRÉBUCHET CHABLIS 2022 Lively, fresh, and sporting Chablis’ luminous glint, the 2022 Chartron et Trébuchet Chablis presents itself as the quintessential Chablis. Sensuous and intriguing scents of citrus, pear, white flowers, oyster shell, lemon zest, and a faint but beckoning scent of the sea greet the nose. Balanced and precise, Chartron et Trébuchet’s 2022 Chablis fills the mouth with a myriad of flavors drawn from the soil as well as the sea: one can taste the limestone-rich terroir of Chablis poke through the wine’s lively Chardonnay fruit and citrus twists to animate the mouth. Note the absence of oak! This is authentic Chardonnay, unadorned and reflective of its place of origin, devoid of the preponderance of butter and oak. Moreover, it finishes with a satisfying flourish. Although still in its infancy, the 2022 Chartron et Trébuchet Chablis offers exciting drinking pleasure now. Afford this stringent, precise Chablis a moderate chill (40º-45º F) before pouring, and then allow it to unfold slowly in your glass. Anticipated maturity: 2023-2027. $26.99 $34.99
