La salinité affleure un peu plus, salivante en finale, sinon même impressions qu’en 2023. Un chablis sur le fil pour la typicité minérale, en rondeur, un rien d’S02 perceptible pour ma part.

Ce n’est pas le plus exuberant des chablis de Droin, mais il fait son office, en rondeur, sans peps, avec la touche de salinité au minimum requis. Nez de pierres chaudes, d’iode, d’agrume confit et de fleurs, de pomme cuite, en nuances, par petites touches. Il semble sur la retenue, indeniablement sur la finesse (une gageure pour le solaire 2018). Personnellement je les préfère plus tendus… (et avec un peu moins de So2). 91 s’il se retend avec qq années de plus!

Friday Group Brown Bag Tasting (J&J's): Double blind. Light color. Notes of apple, minerals and something a bit floral. Orchard fruit and mineral tones on the palate. Bright acidity with hints of citrus in the finish. Guessed Chablis. This is a terrific young Chablis, thanks J2. 92+ pts.

Served with my crab cakes ( request recipe if desired as I consider it a benchmark to judge against all restaurants offerings)… Greenish tinged yellow color… Nose is delightful….yellow apple, seashell, peach, grass, Flavor just explodes with salinity, minerality, seashell, lime zest, apple… Allred’s note was very good at describing the experience… Loved it tonight with the crabby cakes!

Dinner with Friends (R&R's): Apple and mineral notes with a subtle floral undertone. Hints of citrus and stone as well. Complex, offering a little something different every time you go back to it. Moves very well across the palate with good weight and focus, ending with good length. Excellent. 92+ pts. (J&J)

Sees French oak for 10 months. Definately a little more generous than what I'm used to for Chablis which shows a different style. Still had the chalk and minerals

Decanted before serving due to its youth. Lots of acid. Citrus, lemon peel, lanolin, mineral. Outstanding with crab cakes. So many years of life ahead of it, if it just doesn't pre-mox!

A touch better from the last bottle....consistent with my previous note:
Father's Day Dinner; Chalky with great minerality. Acid is in check....nice wine with shellfish.

Pommes, poires, touche de salinité, minéral, très frais, plus rond que sur d’autres millésimes mais une belle bouteille à prix fort correct.
Apples, pears, some salinity and minerality also, more round then usual (vintage no doubt) but a nice bottle at very fair price.

Coquillages, bord de mer, salin et mineral au nez comme en bouche. Super beau et tres bon RQP. 91
Sea shells, very saline and mineral and very Chanlis like in terms of tension and feel, gorgeous quality/price ratio.

A solid young Chablis here. Actually more classic than I would have thought of 2018. Very promising and needs at least five more years to shine
