Yellowing, along with nose, pointing to obvious development. A lot more phenolic than expected, with no sign of expected “minerality”. Not much in the way of vibrancy. To be honest, disappointing. This is the first of three bottles, so not sure if an underwhelming showing (cork influence?) or typical at this point. Either way, if Chablis producers don’t adopt screwcaps they’ve got rocks in their heads.

Much better than other Chablis at this price which I often find can be thin and austere. This, though, is lovely. There’s sharp green apple and lime on the nose, to taste ripe apple with zest, slight hints of apricot and passion fruit, then a finish of lemon oils and honey. Great balance between the zing of its fresh acidity and a slight creaminess on the smooth finish.

Proper Chablis bottled under DIAM . Green and gold bright fruit on the nose . Mouthwatering acidity and stone fruit . Long crisp finish

Apple and herb (fennel?). Fresh. Much better with a bit of air.

On the nose we suspected some oak, but should not be in this one....

Enticing citrus and fennel nose, creamy middle held together with salty minerality and long length. This punches waaaay above its weight for the price
