April 15, 2022 - off bottle. Botrytized? which seems like it would be strange for chablis.

December 20, 2020 - Deep colour.
Rich and honeyed, white flowers and lightly oxidative zest.
Zesty citrus, honeysuckle, talc, but with a leaning towards honey richness reflecting its age. Lovely acidity, quite textured, smooth. Persistent flavours. Has moved beyond its youth but still drinking beautifully. -

June 22, 2020 - Tropical fruit notes dominate (almost Riesling like), with a hint of botrytis. Palate was full of again tropical fruit and mineral notes, and a waxiness that coats your mouth. Really enjoyed the wine.

June 21, 2020 - Great nose accentuated by a hint of botrytis. The palate was insanely waxy and coated your mouth for minutes. Picked up acid with air, but wishing there was more acid on this bottle. Not as fresh as the '95 Butteaux served next to it.
