November 13, 2023 - Another excellent bottle, this one showing better, fresher than the first two bottles. Pure Chablis, citric, transparent, some wet rocks.
May 28, 2022 - Lovely, detailed bouquet of lime blossoms and fresh herbs. On the palate, attacks well with the silky acids and texture of a white with some age and shows a crazy note of lanolin and pickled lemon rind. On the dry and bright ends of things, nothing rich or oaky here, it’s austere and intense and so minerally and citric, it’s the kissing cousin of a trocken Riesling. Terrific lingering, bitter caraway-seed finish. Aging nicely, my kinda chablis.
December 12, 2021 - this wine ages really well. my score keeps increasing year after year.
August 16, 2021 - This has put on more weight and filled out on the palate yet still retains a laser-like tension on the finish. Notes of ginger, lemon but with bright acidity; long fiinish. Excellent - but let it breathe.
January 2, 2020 - Tasted over 2 hrs
-translucent med gold
-waxy banana citrus stone lanolin
-med acidity, med weight fairly complex sweet yellow fruit bitter mineral beeswax, good length
-excellent power and complexity but just not a huge fan of the distinctive flavor profile this producer seems to generate that transcends terroir in my opinion
January 18, 2019 - 88 points the first day, 90 the second day. Clearly needs time to open up completely.
August 5, 2018 - From memory: Wow – still a baby really! Laser-sharp with pronounced notes of crushed seashells and lemon-peel throughout – I don’t think I’ve ever had a wine that smelt as much of the sea as this one. Very little oak to soften the blows, but the fruit is fortunately generous enough to prevent this from becoming a downright masochistic affair. Not for the terrace aperitif – this is a serous, grown-up, old school Chablis that really needs food to show its best.
April 29, 2018 - HUGE fan of this wine
March 7, 2018 - Quite different showing and nothing like previous bottles. Feeling a bit heavy but specially a very significant bitterness at the finish. Could be the vintage or an off bottle? Held the wine for a few days but it did not improve at all.
November 23, 2017 - Same comments as prior. My last bottle unfortunately. Amazing how well these whites from Burgundy age.
