December 4, 2023 - This is all beach and tidepool on the nose, touch of sulfur, but overall nicely enticing; classic, classic palate, taut, even lean fruit, but complemented by strong chalky, rocky, iodine minerality, hint of late saline, but the razor sharp minerality and acidity dominate the lasting finish. A rock head wine, one this taster finds delicious.
November 1, 2022 - Pale lemon.
Medium plus intensity on the nose with lemon, apple, pear, apple pie, toast, flint and wet stone.
Pronounced and dry on the palate with some cream coming through. Noticeable grip adds some structure. High acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, long finish.
Delicious.
April 15, 2022 - Perhaps a little less linear and integrated than would be optimal but still a great expression of chardonnay.
July 17, 2021 - Pnp. This starts quite promising as the wine is initially rather tight and tense with good acidity and freshness, and both chalk and some sulphur creating a fairly typical Chablis flavor profile. Only the grassy notes are a bit irritating.
With more air however, the wine loosens up considerably and the various flavors seem to fade. So you are left with a pretty and fresh Chablis that however lacks a bit of concentration and also tension. The mediocre 2016 Chablis vintage shows after all.
Overall good but not great for my favorite Chablis site.

February 1, 2020 - Needs time. Lots of time. Should get there though
July 9, 2019 - This did not at all fullfill the expectations. Nose fully muted. Mouthfeel was quite nice. Too low acidity, no length. Slight bitterness. No classic chablis minerals or acidity, no lemon no nothing. I hope for the producer the bottle was off because otherwise this was very weak. Roughly 6months ago I had Montée de Tonnerre 2016 from Raveneau. What a difference, a different league of wine.
March 12, 2019 - Bouchard Père et Fils Tasting with Frédéric Weber (Knightsbridge - Northbrook IL): Tasting, brief note. Clear reduction have me trouble to assess in a roundtable tasting, but clearly there is a lot of power and concentration here.
November 19, 2018 - PnP. Zippy, delicious, and complex. Mid- weight, mid+ acid. 12.5%
August 25, 2018 - Burgundy 2016 (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): After the previous three wines this is a lot richer with a little ripe stone fruit, butter, sweet spice, again a little sulphur. On the palate the acid is more contained but this is still a little sour for me. Fruit more evident but sulphur tarnished and there is some burr on the mid palate lending texture. Long. Hmm.
