Description

Located in the heart of the town of Chablis, with a very rich history dating back to 1540, Domaine Pinson was among the first winemakers in Chablis to bottle their wines for public sale in 1880 when they also exported their first wine to America. The ‘Frères’ in the name are brothers Laurent and Christophe Pinson. The Domaine today is run by Charlène and her father Laurent Pinson. Charlène started making the wine here in 2008 after finishing a degree in viticulture and winemaking in Beaune and then gaining plenty of experience working in the Rhône Valley.

Made from 70-year-old vines grown on a South Eastern exposure on the left bank of the Serein river. This Premier Cru is marked by its terroir and showing besides Kimmeridgian limestone also bleu and grey clay with excellent water holding capacity. This wine is fermented in stainless steel before being aged in 3-5-year-old barrels for 8 to 9 months. Old vines and very stony soils show intense mineral aromas in this wine and great power.

Review

Discreet wood can be found on the floral-suffused nose of both white and yellow orchard fruit that reflects notes of spice, quinine, tidal pool, and a subtle hint of citrus influence. There is a good refinement to the vibrant and rich but appealingly delineated flavours that dance across the palate on the lingering and saline-inflected finale. This is quite fine and should age accordingly’ *Burghound Outstanding!*
