Nice village Chablis, Loads of seashells and minerals on top of white fruits with some citrus. Crisp, clean, and palate refreshing. Excellent, slightly metallic med. finish. Not one for the long haul but could withstand some more time without great damage. a point now.

Nice light golden color. Honey, chalky mineral, hints of lemon zest on the nose. Soft over ripe lemons that are sweeter than bitter, chalk, mineral, cinnamon, peach, Light yet full, rich and creamy on the palate. Gravel, clove, herbs, and lemon, on the ample finish. Good soft acidity but I can't see it as enough to let this wine last for anymore than 4-5 years.
Perhaps not quite representative of Chablis (my own experience with Chablis is not enough to say so, but I have heard this from those who have extensive knowledge of Chablis), but delicious, none the less.
After asparagus brilliant honey, peach and light stone fruit on the palate!! Awesome!

Not very impressed. A little fat and generous for 2010, even for village Chablis. Needs more leaness, focus, and acidity. In my opinion, the Gilbert Picq entry level Chablis from 2010 is a better choice for the level at last in a classical sense.

Enticing nose of sea breeze, orchard fruit, packed with iodine. Smelling this is basically like taking a deep breath on the side of the ocean while eating oysters. On the palate, this has pretty good fruit with a saline character that's just really delicious. Good acidity which makes you salivate and going for more. The only problem with this basic entry Chablis, is that my glass always seems empty! Get some, NOW!

Lemony and delicious. Good minerality but fullness that I didn't find in the Petit Chablis -- this is definitely more rounded and nuanced than Piuze's entry level bottling.

Tonight, this is showing a gorgeous malic acid and a fresh apple aroma on the palate, which to me is generally part of a great Loire Chenin. Great acid. Nose reminds me of birdseed, with stony minerality behind it. After a couple of hours of air, it's still precise, pure, and lovely, and begins tasting more and more like Chablis.

Bu chez les Smith!
Beau vin, le côté "chablis" a pris du temps à sortir mais une fois arrivé, j'ai bien aimé.

I just really love the nose on this bottle, fresh and reminds me of the sea. Went really well with homemade lobster risotto.

The Wines of Burgundy Seminar (The Wine Country, Signal Hill, CA): Lots going on with this. Round with tropical flavors with a good streak of acidity to keep it fresh. Very enjoyable.
