Premier Cru Chablis with Charles Curtis MW – Saturday 10th January

Most of us need something to pep us up a little in January, and we’ve got just the tonic. In anticipation of the various Burgundy 2024 en primeur tastings held by merchants in the second week of the month, we have the perfect curtain-raiser – and a chance to raise yourself from the Saturday night sofa slump – by way of a deep-dive into the wine that is often heralded as the archetypal aperitif.

The focus for the evening will be the premiers crus of Chablis, taking a whistle-stop tour of some of the most notable examples, from both left bank and right bank, and exploring the stylistic differences between them.

Our guide will be New York-based master of wine Charles Curtis, the former head of wine for Christie’s auction house in both the Americas and Asia. The author of The Original Grands Crus of Burgundy, Charles is now Decanter’s Burgundy correspondent. Having just completed his 2024 Chablis En Primeur report for the magazine, he is in the perfect position to provide Members with all the latest insights from the region.

We are delighted to welcome Charles back to the Club for another deep-dive into this perennially popular appellation.

The wines we will be tasting:
2023 Chablis Premier Cru Montmains, William Fèvre
2023 Chablis Premier Cru Vaulorent, William Fèvre
2023 Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons, Jean-Paul et Benoit Droin
