Other Reviews....
There is a suggestion of the exotic to the aromas of white peach, passion fruit, quinine and citrus confit scents. The super-sleek and gorgeously textured medium-bodied flavors brim with dry extract on the round and caressing but quite punchy, clean and refreshingly dry finale. This too is going to require at least some restraint. Drink from 2028+.

This is exactly what we expect a Chablis 1er Cru to be. It’s chalky and well structured, but bright and refreshing, the winemaking taking a back-seat to the oyster-shell and fresh lemon-peel character. Delightful balance and purity at the finish. Drink or hold.

Made from four plots from top to bottom of Mont de Milieu, all at the Chablis end, using a mix of some demi-muid barrels and stainless steel. Some ripe plums are evident on the nose but all has been well harnessed so nothing is too exotic. Racy acidity behind, a fruit which develops well right through to the back of the palate and an excellent acid balance. Very persistent.

Very elegant, cool and driven on both nose and palate. Fine citrus acidity, a thoroughbred with finesse and focus. Lots of potential. Produced from four parcels of varying ages (on average 40 years) ranging from the top of the hill to the bottom. Drink 2023 - 2028.
