  Un chablis solaire avec ses aromes lactiques, fruits jaune, salinite. Aurait pu beneficier de plus de tension

  Not my preferred style of Chablis.
  Clearly leading with textural richness, which is something I expect (and want) in a Cotes de Beaune; not so much in a Chablis.
  Lacks acidity and minerality and the aromatics are rather simple and short.
  Underwhelming.

  Nose: cinnamon, other baking spice (nutmeg, clove), cedar, some “green”. The nose comes off as very “warm”.
  
  Palate: layered, but very round (which muddies it a bit for me). Some butter, some saline.
  
  Overall the nose is amazing, especially during Christmas (I’d sniff the empty glass before every refill). I’m generally not a fan of round, lactic whites - but if someone does like that style, they’d probably really like this wine.

  After work pop at home. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, lemon colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of citrus lemon, green apple, yellow flower, chalky stones minerality, faint hint of brine. Developed.
  On the palate dry, medium acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.7%), medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of rounded citrus lemon, yellow peach, green apple, even a bit of sweet pineapple. Minerality buried and pretty much an afterthought. Medium finish.
  Good, but marked by the vintage. Happy to drink this up now. Doubt I would have enjoyed it anything more than 4-5 years more. Got this on the cheap precisely for early drinking.

  First course: this matched wonderfully with a foie gras truffle. 92+
