DOMAINE PINSON: KIMMERIDGIAN NOBILITY
Known famously as Kimmeridgian marl, the limestone-based soil in Chablis is layered with fossils of ancient aquatic life. 
In a region so steeped in history, Domaine Pinson stands out, having farmed in Chablis since 1640. The domaine today is run by the dynamic Charlène Pinson and her father Laurent. They own 14 hectares of the crème de la crème of Chablis terroir, with prime holdings in six premier crus and the grandest cru of them all, Les Clos. Charlène and Laurent view themselves as not only farmers, but protectors of this sacred land. 

* Impeccably ploughed Kimmeridgian soil
* Vineyard by vineyard approach to vinification
* 100% hand harvested
* Only indigenous yeasts used

“The 2015s from Pinson Frères showed extremely well from top to bottom.If you are looking for high-quality Chablis at wallet-friendly prices, then I would give these wines your consideration.” — Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
2015 Domaine Pinson Chablis Premier Cru Montmain $456 case
91 Points Wine Advocate “The 2015 Chablis 1Er Cru Montmains comes from 60-year-old vines and is raised for nine months in oak. It has a pretty, floral bouquet, with peony and rose petal notes complementing the granite scents. The palate is well balanced, with a slightly pithy, peach-skin entry, well-judged acidity and a gentle, saline finish that lingers in the mouth. This is another very fine offering this vintage from Pinson.” — Neal Martin

2015 Domaine Pinson Chablis Premier Cru Mont de Milieu $456 case
92 Points Vinous “Light yellow-gold. Sexy note of reduction to the musky aromas of citrus fruits, baked bread and white truffle; rather elegant in the context of the year. Very rich, silky, suave and concentrated, with its bright yellow fruit flavors framed by sound, well-integrated acidity. Thick and consistent from start to chewy, unflagging finish. Already displaying considerable complexity but there's more to come.” — Steven Tanzer

2015 Domaine Pinson Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos $720 case
92 Points Wine Advocate “The palate is well balanced with neatly integrated oak. It's quite grippy in the mouth, with admirable depth on the saline finish. There is something a little conservative about this les Clos, but it should age with style. This is a stylish follow-up to the equally impressive 2014 les Clos.” — Neal Martin
