A Classic, Vibrant Vintage from Famille Savary
by Anthony Lynch
Certain wine estates are all about the story: centuries of family production, obscure heirloom grape varieties, perilous vertical vineyards, radical production methods... With Domaine Savary, forget the fluff and romantic backstory. Focus instead on what’s in your glass: delicious, vibrant, classic wines that place this among the most consistent, reliable Chablis to be found.
The domaine—born from the marriage of Francine and Olivier Savary, both of local vigneron families—found its feet thanks to the help of Chablisien legend Jean-Marie Raveneau, who later introduced Olivier to Kermit. Brothers Mathieu and Maxime represent the next generation at the domaine, having joined their parents in 2014. In addition to their textbook village-level Chablis, they produce a premier cru Fourchaume, an attractive old-vine cuvée that embodies both power and restraint, with ample fruit, zingy citrus, and a salivating finish that recalls the fossil-laden slope from which it hails. They also produce a crisp and lively Petit Chablis that has plenty of goût de terroir and pairs wonderfully with just about everything.
The newly arrived 2024s showcase the Kimmeridgian marl terroir in its purest form, giving wines that are textbook Chablis: crisp, racy, and mouth-watering, evoking aromas of white flowers, citrus, and crushed seashells. These winemakers brilliantly capture the essence of ripe Chardonnay from stony soils.

Oh, how far Irouléguy, the hidden gem of French Basque country, has come! Once upon a time, not so long ago, a local joke went something like this: “How do you say vinegar in Basque?
