Delicious but a bit foursquare and quite dry on the end

Despite everyone's great reviews, I find this wine very odd, sort of sickly-fruity. Galloni says it is a wine of "texture." I agree, but I feel like the texture is more like Rhone than Piedmont.

Blueberry and smoke on the nose. Good structure. Sleek and lean. Melba toast finish. What a beauty!

Wore its touch of Gamay with style--a good bargain!

We must have had a spectacular version of this; a more full-bodied example with slight creaminess that enhanced its flinty qualities.

The only flaw is a slightly watery unstructured mouthfeel.

Very big, wonderful but not what we usually think of with regard to meursault.

Super interesting wine from the Canary Islands, aromatic, herbal, a little thin, still too young--we're going age our next bottle a little before opening it.

On the fulsome, unstructured side, very pleasant but not a classic Chablis

What a nice way to pick up our "spirits" on our small Thanksgiving dinner during Covid! A great wine, brooding, rich with dark chocolate aromas, perfectly balanced, stunning tannins.

Fabulous! Deep garnet color. Currants, anise and mushroom on the nose with hints of dark earth and violet candy. Thick mouthfeel, soft arc that takes its time, lingering finish with raspberry (ends on higher note than the nose).

Excellent, opulent and toasty--almost in the style of a grand cru.

Nose of anise, violet candy, blueberry. Medium body, limpid arc. Crystaline finish of honey and herbs.

Very rich, not a traditional Chablis, but a nice white Burgundy, especially for this price point. This is our third bottle over about 3 years, and we've gone up on the rating each time, so looks like this is worth laying down for a bit.
