I understand that this Villages-level Chablis is from Chapelot, just below Montée de Tonnerre. Reflecting it's good pedigree (and terroir!) ... Appropriately deep gold colour for this age with a tinge of green. Drunk over two evenings, during which it did not change. Showing real Chablis typicity on bouquet and palate with citric, mineral and green fruited and some more exotic fruit elements. Limes, river stones, grapefruit, oyster shells and tinned pineapple. Reduction that largely blew off after about two hours. A little oxidative development adds a touch of complexity. Good concentration and structure for this level. Grapey, tactile phenolics, quite 2013-typical Chablis. Racy, assertive acidity. Decent length. Finishes dry and chalky. There now for drinking, I doubt it'll improve. I'd drink over the next 3-4 years.

On my palette, the wine was a tad sour and slightly rough on the throat. Tasted with charcuterie and cheeses, it might be better as an accompaniment to a meal.
Yellow fruit, honeysuckle, ripe pear, sea water, suble minerality. A little hollow in the midpalate, a touch fat, finish is generous but comes off as less Chablis than expected but certainly this is a steely burg. A little more acid would have been appreciated but just fine for its level and a pleasurable food wine. Drink now. (Le Bernardin, NYC)

A steely, mineral burg. Laser focus, lemon, little lacking in other fruit but still very enjoyable.

Burgundy Tasting (Ivy, George Street, Sydney): Medium plus aromas of lemon sherbet with slight cream and butter…more of the same on the palate…short but very refreshing. Good
