Years ago when Sebastien casually mentioned that he had produced a Grand Cru our ears pricked right up! As someone who produces Petit Chablis that betters most Chablis and Chablis V.V. that is better than many 1er Cru - it was brilliant news for Sebastien and it was Blanchot, right across the way from his vines in Montée de Tonnerre. The perfect Grand Cru in these days of global warming. Blanchot produces superb, steely wines and it is the top vineyard for some producers (Laroche, Billaud-Simon) It always produces discreet, floral wines that have the capacity to age very well. Banchots refers to the very white colour of the soil, it. Put this wine away for a few more years whilst you enjoy the others.
