"Cyril Testut is a new grower to me in Chablis, but I was very impressed with the few examples of his wines that I was able to taste for this article. His 2018 villages level wines of Côte de Bréchain hails from fifty year-old vines. This lieu á dit is beautifully-situated, lying on the same ridge as Montée de Tonnerre, just to the east of and looking across the very narrow valley at Blanchot. The wine is excellent, with lovely tension on the palate for the 2018 vintage. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a blend of apple, wet stone minerality, straw, citrus peel and a touch of beeswax in the upper register. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and focused, with fine mineral undertow, a good core of fruit and excellent balance and grip on the long and zesty finish. This is still a puppy and could use a few more years in the cellar to allow its secondary layers of complexity emerge. First class AC!" |
