Notes from Grand Cru Selections:
"Édouard and Eleni first met during the 2010 harvest in New Zealand. Not long after, they married and returned to Chablis to take over a small piece of Edouard's family domaine and establish their own project in 2013. With just 3.3 hectares to start, their vision was clear: a more artisanal, sustainable approach, focused on farming. Making single-site wines that highlight the individuality of each plot through the same thoughtful, minimalist winemaking. Their small holdings allowed them to know every vine by heart...in 2023, Édouard inherited an additional 5 hectares of impressive real estate —including Butteaux and new 1er crus Forêts, Séchet, Châtaigne, and Montée de Tonnerre, along with the Grands Crus Blanchots, Valmur, and Les Clos—bringing the domaine to roughly 10 hectares.
Boucheran is made from a 0.89 hectare located between two premier crus, Vaillons and Montmains. The soil is Kimmeridgian (moyen) with a high proportion of white clay in the soil. The vines are 35 years old."
Wine Advocate:
"From a lieu-dit facing Vaillons (northwest) characterized by pale yellow marl soil, the 2023 Chablis En Boucheran exhibits intense aromas of acacia, yellow fruit and tangerine zest. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied and fleshy yet bright, with structuring extract and tangy acidity. It will drink very well in its youth."
