Chablis

It's been a gaping hole in our French book, and we've found the answer finally. Lucien Beau, growers in Lignorelles, are producing just five cuvées including premier Cru Fourchaum and Grand Cru Vaudésir, a gorgeous old vines Chablis along with Petite Chablis and village Chablis. The young generation is in charge and watch out - pure mineral expressions using Barrique but nothing newer than 4 years. Impressive. Watch this space for updates. We'll get these wines moving soon.
