Sylvain Mosnier
Since founding his domaine in 1978, Sylvain Mosnier and his wines have quickly gained recognition among journalists and his fellow vignerons alike. Joining M. Mosnier in his cellars is a treat as, despite his very masculine presence, he is quite convivial, and his wines are of high quality. With the exception of a touch of oak in Premier Cru Beauroy (entirely from Troësmes) and a more extensive dosage for Chablis Vieilles-Vignes en Fût (made only in the best vintages), the wines are otherwise unadulterated. Petit Chablis is from 50+ year vines and manually harvested, very rare for this appellation. In addition to the Chablis Vieilles-Vignes en Fût, in every vintage there are two Chablis Villages: Chablis and Chablis Vieilles-Vignes, with the latter being made without the use of oak and coming from vines planted a half a century ago. In addition to the single hectare of Beauroy, Mosnier also owns .6 hectares of Premier Cru Côte de Léchét.

Has length, power and intensity and really grows on you. S [...]
