A subtle nose on this wine evokes chalk made moist with ripe Amalfi lemon juiciness. The palate plays these twin notions off each other in a subtle, fresh way, despite the concentration and depth. This wine is cool and zesty at its core but generous and lightfooted at the surface.
...mingling aromas of citrus and citrus confit with hints of beeswax, peach and pear in an inviting bouquet. Full-bodied, muscular and layered...textural and fleshy...racy acids and a chalky finish.
A very ripe, dense Chablis, yet it maintains energy and focus. Crushed-stone and mineral highlights. Full-bodied and formed with a solid core of fruit and energy.
...beautifully defined bouquet of subtle lemon peel, Chinese white tea and jasmine aromas, very discreet and nicely focused...palate is well balanced with a discreet spicy entry, very nice weight in the mouth and a harmonious, quite persistent finish.
Rich, creamy and full. While this still has a steely, flinty edge you’d expect from Chablis, this has the weight and power that says grand cru. Lovely length.
