Chablis, France
The story begins back in 1923. Under the leadership of Abbé Balitrand, a number of winegrowers joined forces to better withstand the economic difficulties of the period. Together, in the middle of the Chablis vineyards, they created a cooperative winery to market their wines.

"Lemon in color, ripe-fruit flavors define the nose of this wine that draws in dried field grass, hay and bruised golden apple. The palate is creamy in texture with notes of roasted lemon peel, caramel and dried white blossom. Pair with oysters, calamari and leek soup." - Anna-Christina Cabrales

"Classic La Chablisienne: ultra-clean and precise, there is a lot of density here with a fine combination of succulent, concentrated (but not overripe) fruit combined with fresh acidity and a pronounced mineral quality. Will age well. Tank sample." - Andy Howard MW

"From the famous Kimmeridgian clay limestone soils, planted at a density of 5,500 to 6,500 vines / ha with now 20 year old vines, this entry version of Chablis illustrates the best of the gap between many BC chardonnay and Chablis. La Pierrelée is a delicate, light, almost ethereal white wine that dances on the palate. It doesn't have the complexity of a Grand Cru label, but it has the soul of Chablis, and you can see why well made Chablis has such a huge fan base..." - Anthony Gismondi

"Fresh, classic, zesty. A staple in our market, La Chablisienne's La Pierrelee suggests oyster shells and lemon drops, yellow plum and yellow apples, honeysuckle and toasted baguette and roasted hazelnut. It's a fresh white with flavours to echo the nose. It has a slick texture, mineral undertone and persistent zesty finish." - Daenna Van Muligen

"Minerally, bright and incisive nose with limey citrus, a touch of chalk and bergamot. Really fresh and crisp with a linear mouthfeel and a crunchy, simple finish. Bone-dry and pithy with medium intensity." - Zekun Shuai

"... the newest vintage of La Pierrelée from this venerable Chablis co-operative provides a great Chardonnay baseline: wonderful texture with citrus and floral tones, good balance complemented by acidity, and an elegant finish.
Bottom line: B, Pairs great with seafood."

"This is a solid, mineral-forward Chablis. Freshly-cut green apple and dried field grass aromas open on the nose complemented by a dusting of white blossom. The chalky palate boasts springy acidity. Pair with Croque Monsieur and a green salad."

"Quintessential Chablis exuding racy grapefruit and lemon citrus and an ambient sea spray freshness. Refined and delicate with a pervading seam of tense acidity. Outstanding!"

"As one would expect from this leading Co-op, this is a fine example of Chablis with plenty of mineral notes complimenting the crisp acidity and tree-fruit characters on the nicely concentrated palate. Ready now but will be drinking well for at least two to three years." - Andy Howard MW
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, Jul/2023

"The palate is well-balanced with modest depth, lightly spiced with good mid-palate weight... it has a pleasingly smooth texture and a lingering dash of spice."
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, Jun/2022

"The 2020 Chablis La Pierrelée has a pleasant nose, Golden Delicious, granite and a light chamomile scent that surfaces with time in the bottle. The palate is well balanced with a marine-tinged entry, fine weight and acidity, fresh with a saline finish. This is a fine Village Cru from La Chablisienne."
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, Jun/2021
2020 -
"The 2020 Chablis La Pierrelée has a reserved gunflint bouquet that is quite penetrating for a Village Cru. The palate is well balanced with plenty of energy and quite saline in the mouth. An attractive sour lemon note appears toward the finish. Well-made and delicious."
Wine Spectator, Oct/2015

"Lemon cake and a hint of baking spices mark this rich, supple white. The citrus theme continues as this unwinds to a long, crisp finish..." - Bruce Sanderson
