July 13, 2021 - Medium+ aromas of chalk/mineral, pear/apple, grapefruit, honey and white flowers. On the palate, less acidity than expected of a Chablis... mostly grapefruit comes through. Medium alcohol, body, and flavor intensity... the fruitiness masks the dryness. Good balance.

January 14, 2021 - In contrast to the Vaulorent, this was ripe, lemony, peachy, rounder, fuller, with some baby fat; wet chalk minerality, but clearly more approachable with the ripe fruit. Nice mineral finish though. Good but not really a fan of "approachable" Chablis.

December 14, 2020 - Young at this stage but full of promise. More citus driven and less mineral driven than 2017 but still delicious. Needs a couple years but mine probably won’t make it. Too good of a wine at a great price.
