March 19, 2022 - How do the Marchives make such good juice for such a great price? Hands down my favorite chablis producer - the nicest people making really good, classic wines. Nose powerful iodine, oyster shell, lemon, hints of apple cider, hints of floral. palate with great acidity, hints of partial malolactic, intense mineral, suggestive of some lees aging, long mineral driven finish. This is a near great Chablis - hitting well above both price and really the premier cru designation.
March 20, 2020 - Starting to fade. Not as vibrant as I remember. Still nice Lemon Meringue flavors with some minerality.
January 18, 2016 - This bottle showed a bit awkward, a bit too full. Don't think I'd have guessed Chablis if I hadn't known. Decent for what it is, but give it some time.
December 13, 2015 - 55F. Light yellow. Mineral, pear, apple on the nose and stone and apple on the palate. Very fresh. Builds continuously on the palate to pleasing finish. Young but drinking great if not too cold, improved being open a bit.
August 29, 2015 - Medium yellow color, weighty with some toast flavors. Hints of pear and citrus fruits.
May 10, 2015 - Solid, with lemon citrus, green apple, salinity and marine notes.
April 24, 2015 - Beautiful crisp, green apple, sunny and seamless. Drink up
January 27, 2015 - Delicious, lighter style but stil with nice minerality, juicy and well balanced, loads of crisp apple and lemon fruit, enjoyed this wine.
January 15, 2015 - Beautiful Wife likes, but would not seek out at price. I allegedly tried it, but am too drunk to remember...
January 5, 2015 - Grassy, green apples. Dry, with good acid making for good structure and a crisp finish.
