Chablis 

The Estate
Corinne Perchaud and her husband Jean-Pierre Grossot began working in the Domaine in 1980, but the estate was originally founded in 1920. They are the third generation of winemakers at this family estate, located in the village of Fleys, in the heart of the Chablis appellation.
"A very good to excellent Chablis producer making some wines in tank and others in barrel; the former are outstanding" - Anthony Dias Blue's pocket guide to wine 2006

The Vineyard
They farm 18 hectares (44.5 acres) of vines: 13 A.O.C. Chablis and 5 hectares Premier Cru. The wines are only tank fermented, except the Fourneaux that gets 25% barrel fermented wine added into the final blend. The owners take great care to produce exceptional Chablis wine by keeping the lively Chardonnay fruit and the unique mineral quality imparted by the Kimmeridgian soil, the fruity acidity and bouquet in perfect balance. The grapes are harvested by hand and gently pressed in a horizontal pressoir to ensure the fullest extraction and range of flavors and aromas.

The Wines 
The wines display perfect Chablis like character of oyster shells, mineral and M-L fermentation in the nose.  They have rich components in the mid-palate, with a long lingering flavor core. Thrilling wines.

2008 Corinne Perchaud, Chablis, A.O.C. 12/750ml
The grapes are 25 years old on average and come from vineyards in the village of Fleys. They are harvested at full maturity and produce a rich and expressive wine.
Classic Chablis like characters of oyster shells, mineral, white flower and ripe fruit aromas of pear and citrus. Delicious and balanced. Rich components in the mid-palate, with a long lingering flavor core. An exceptional wine with more weight and intensity that one expects from village Chablis.  Thrilling wine.

"(the second mise, bottled in January of this year) Sexy, expressive nose offers lemon, lime, white truffle, white flowers and a note of vanilla. Supple and sweet but with racy acidity giving cut to the middle palate and grip to the lingering finish. But there's nothing tart or hard about this village wine."

"My summer Chardonnay of choice is Chablis, with its bracing acidity and distinctive minerality. The floral-scented Corine Perchaud Chablis 2008 was made from 25-year-old vines and exhibits complex lemon, peach, pear and limestone notes with a prolonged, well balanced finish."

 "Smells like two pieces of limestone struck together. Lemon, green apple and flint flavors mingle on the palate as this fades to a long finish. Offers nice balance and persistence. Best from 2011 through 2015."

"Attractive, crisp and citrus Chablis, light and fresh. The acidity is mouth-tingling, the flavor of pink grapefruit biting through the texture." R.V.

"Musky aromas of lemon, quinine and minerals. Supple and round but with good grip to the flavors of lemon peel, mint and fresh herbs. Offers lovely density for a village wine. Finishes firm-edged, even a bit youthfully austere. I find no negative effect from hail here."

2008 Corinne Perchaud, Chablis, 1er Cru, “Les Fourneaux”
 This is the south facing portion of the slope and very hot, heavy “Fourneaux” or “oven”. 25% barrel fermented.
 The wine offers ripe nearly tropical fruit flavors laced with mineral, oak, honey, and good mouth feel. 

"Pale, bright, green-tinged yellow. Cool, brisk aromas of lime, crushed stone and menthol. Intensely flavored, precise and gripping; this really perfumes the mouth with citrus and stone flavors. Builds impressively on the back end, but finishes with superb delicacy. This has delivered on its early promise."

This is the south facing portion of the slope and very hot, heavy “Fourneaux” or “oven”. 25% barrel fermented.
 The wine offers ripe nearly tropical fruit flavors laced with mineral, oak, honey, and good mouth feel. 

"Medium yellow. Complex aromas of grapefruit, Meyer lemon, quinine, ginger and honey. Round and ripe but with firm underlying minerality. Finishes with very good breadth and richness. From a steep site with thin soil. Picked with close to 12% potential alcohol and only slightly chaptalized. This blend was better than either of the components by itself."

The wine offers ripe nearly tropical fruit flavors laced with mineral, oak, honey, and good mouth feel. 

"Bright, pale yellow. Minerally nose, with a barrel hint of baked bread. Ripe, dense and rich; a step up in intensity from the village wine. Offers a lovely combination of minerals, spices and flowers. Finishes pure, stony and long, with a dusty, tactile quality and excellent balance."

2009 Corinne Perchaud, Chablis, ler Cru, “Vaucoupin”
Made from 35 year-old vines. The wine is powerful, mineral, with full body and nice balance acids. 

"these vines were picked near the beginning of the harvest) Pale, green-tinged color. Steely aromas of lime and crushed stone lifted by white flowers. Dense, juicy and penetrating, with lively flavors of minerals and white flowers. Quite tactile and a bit saline on the very dry back end, coating the palate with mineral dust."

Made from 35 year-old vines. The wine is powerful, mineral, with full body and nice balance acids. 

"Soft, rounded, broadened by a touch of toast, this is a ripe and honeyed wine, the acidity very present, balanced by intense pear and grapefruit flavors." R.V
- Wine Enthusiast (November 2011) - 90 pts

"(done entirely in stainless steel) Dried fruits, hazelnut, ginger and a whiff of musky, smoky reduction on the nose. Fat and broad but quite dry; this is richer than normal for this cuvee, even massive. Impressively concentrated but I found myself wishing for a bit more mineral cut and grip. A subsequent bottle tasted in New York showed similar mid-palate stuffing but considerably more stony cut, a lively lemony character and a more precise yet equally tactile finish. My score is for this second sample."

"Shows alluring aromas of oyster shell, green apple, fresh lemon and mineral. The flavor is primarily lemon, and the flinty tones reemerge on the finish. Steely and well-proportioned, with a re­freshing saline aftertaste. Best from 2011 through 2020."

2007 Corinne Perchaud, Chablis, ler Cru, “Vaucoupin”
"Pale lemon-yellow color. Crushed stone dominates the nose, with pungent citrus peel, white grapefruit and menthol contributing to the impression of austerity. Juicy, pure and tightly wound but not hard, with nicely building flavors of pineapple, grapefruit and wet stone. Plenty of fat here. This was 12.5% natural alcohol, from a yield below 45 hectoliters per hectare. "

2006 Corinne Perchaud, Chablis, ler Cru, “Vaucoupin”
"Pale yellow with a green cast. Pure, high-pitched, ineffable perfume of violet and crushed stone. Dense and lush, with lovely sweet citrus fruit flavors complicated by flowers and minerals. A silky and fine-grained wine of noteworthy finesse-and long on personality. Finishes youthfully taut, dry and classic. This is fatter than the 2007 but boasts excellent acidity and verve. I find more soil than vintage 2006 character here, although they believe that his 2005s generally convey a stronger impression of terroir."

"Lovely aromas of chalk and oyster brine introduce honey and lemon flavors. Rich and firm, with fine balance and a tangy finish. Excellent for oysters or shellfish. Drink now through 2015."
