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.

2007 Corinne Perchaud, Chablis, A.O.C. 12/750ml
"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."

2006 Cornine 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.

"Bright, pale yellow. Complex, expressive nose offers minerals, powdered stone, violet and sexy white flowers, with fruit in the deep background. Dense, supple and rich, with a flavor of pineapple and a repeating violet nuance. Broad, classic village wine: ripe but dry. I'd give this a year or two in bottle, but in general the lower-acid 2006s here should probably be consumed before the 2007s."

2007 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. 

"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."

2004 Corinne Perchaud, Chablis, 1er Cru, “Les Fourneaux”
This is the south facing portion of the slope and very hot, heavy “Fourneaux” or “oven”. The wine offers ripe nearly tropical fruit flavors laced with mineral, oak, honey, and good mouth feel. 

"A delicate style, with no shortage of chalk and green apple. It’s even chalky in texture, adding a tactile sensation to the sensory experience. Fine length. Needs time to settle in. Best from 2008 through 2016. 930 cases made." - B.S., Wine Spectator (May 2006), 90 pts

2007 Corinne Perchaud, Chablis, ler Cru, “Vaucoupin”
Made from 35 year-old vines. The wine is powerful, mineral, with full body and nice balance acids. 

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

"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."
