Very much in the drinking zone. Nice aged flavor (think raisins and stewed fruit) but tons of fine bubbles and brightness left. Enjoyed the experience!

Another great grand cru from Adrien Besson. Classic chablis profile. Very light fruity, flinty and so smooth. The finish is so so good. My only issue I have is we should have bought more.

This has been a slow to show vintage. We bought a case of this vintage. The first bottle we opened when we got them was very much in the dumb stage. I honestly was very disappointed. BUT as they rested in our cellar they woke up. They really started to be good July 2023. At this time they have become the smooth well structured wine we know. Notes of red fruits, nice oak and smooth tannins. If you are looking for a classic spicy Zin this is not it. Far more complex and smooth. I feel with some time they will get even better which is normal for this wine. So just starting to come alive but more time will likely make it better.
