CHABLIS 1er Cru Troësmes Domaine Denis Pommier 2022
(this used to be labeled as Beauroy). Much like the Croix aux Moines, subtle if perceptible wood influence surrounds the ripe and fresh blend of green apple, citrus confit, white peach and sea breeze hints. The rich, caressing and punchy medium-bodied flavors flash a bead of minerality on the chiseled, mildly austere and very dry finale. This is lovely if somewhat atypical as the descriptor ‘chiseled’ and Troëmes are rarely seen together. Worth checking out.
MERCUREY Blanc 1er Cru Les Veleys Domaine Raquillet 2023
35% new wood. The oak influence is more noticeable though it still easily allows the slightly exotic aromas of honeysuckle, white peach, passion fruit and citrus confit to be appreciated. There is very good size, weight and mid-palate density to the markedly rich and sappy medium-bodied flavors that aren’t nearly as mineral-driven though they are more complex on the bitter lemon-inflected finale where a touch of warm slowly emerges. This could easily be enjoyed immediately though a few years of keeping should help to better integrate the wood treatment.
