Domaine POMMIER
Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er cru dry white
- 2021
- Chablis 1er cru blanc
Isabelle and Denis Pommier started in 1990 with only 2 ha. They have made gradual progress, both in the constitution of their vineyards (now 16 ha) and in their cultivation practices (tillage, disbudding, certified organic from the 2014 vintage). Their wines, vinified and aged for a long time in oak barrels for Croix aux Moines and the 1st crus, have a richness and amplitude that contrast with the usual extreme vivacity of the Chablis.
According to the Bettane & Desseauve 2025 guide, “perhaps the most spectacular growth in the Chablis region over the last fifteen years”.
Quoted in the guide of the Revue du Vin de France.
The frosts of April 2021 were dramatic in Chablis: Domaine Pommier's 2021 harvest is barely a quarter of a normal harvest.

The 2022 vintage in the press:
Bettane+Desseauve (Guide 2024) "This estate continues to delight us with vintages of unrivalled concentration and density. From a very special terroir, the Hauterivien, the Petit Chablis is without doubt the best in the appellation".
La Revue du Vin de France (July 2024) : 90/100 “If iodine strongly marks the first nose, the aromatic expression of ripe fruit (white peach) is not to be outdone. This translates into a voluminous body with the sensation of sweet fruit. Greedy and salty”.

The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 91/100 “Chablis is a marvel. It combines greedy juice with ripe acidity”.
Vinous (N.Martin - August 2024): 90/100 “The 2022 Chablis Village has more presence on the nose compared to thei other cuvées: orchard fruit, gunflint and light tertiary scents. The palate is taut, fresh and lively with fine acidity, boasting ample weight toward the finish. This is quite a suave Chablis that should develop well in bottle.”
Bourgogne Aujourd'hui (September 2023): 15.5/20 “Concentrated mouthfeel, with clementine flavors, good tension and a pure finish.”

The 2022 vintage in the press:
Bourgogne Aujourd'hui (August 2023): 18/20 “From 1.25 hectares of 55-year-old vines, this formidable Chablis cuvée reveals soft, elegant aromas of flowers, yellow and white fruits. Fat, rich, chiselled, long and pure on the palate.”
Vinous (N.Martin - August 2024): 91/100 “The 2022 Chablis Croix Aux Moines has a more austere bouquet, unfolding nicely with aeration to reveal finely delineated scents of wet pavement and sea spray. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh with just the right amount of sour lemon toward the finish. This is a well-crafted Chablis Village.".

Vinous (N.Martin - August 2024): 92/100 “The 2022 Chablis Troesmes 1er Cru has a clean and precise bouquet with fine mineralité, touches of flint suffusing the malic fruit. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, lovely depth and deft use of oak. Faint hints of red fruit surprise on the finish of this quite delicious Chablis from one of its lesser-know climats.”

Vinous (N.Martin - August 2024): 92/100 “The 2022 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru has an attractive nose: green apples, slate and light loamy scents that blossom in the glass, quite classical in style. The palate is well balanced with a tangy entry, fresh and crisp, with ample weight on the finish whilst retaining tension. Just a dab of pepperiness comes trough on the aftertaste and completes the picture."
