Simonnet-Febvre, a leading Chablis-based grower and négociant, sees plenty of potential for Irancy. They bottle this one as well as two from the lieux-dits of Paradis and Veaupessiot. The 2018 Irancy, a field blend of Pinot Noir and César, shows considerable depth despite a lower stated alcohol -13% -than expected for the hot 2018 vintage. It delivers power, relatively speaking for Irancy, without sacrificing polish or finesse. Red cherry-like flavours and touches of charming rusticity are apparent in this harmonious wine. Surprisingly approachable and charming now.
