  Impressive village, shows that you can get the essence of Chablis without going up to GC or 1erC. Straw yellow. Bright aromas of shale, seashells and citrus. Green apples and minerals on the tongue, good concentration with a saline and surprisingly long exit.

  Pale gold colour. Medium (+) nose with yellow apples, peach, ripe lemon, flint, wet stone and smoke. Medium taste of ripe green apples, ripe lemon, flint and wet stone. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. Needed and hour to open. Drink now or over the next five years (ten for magnum). Goes well with cheese, fish or shellfish.

  Nez insistant de fruits jaunes.
  
  Chablis à l'attaque de fruit jaune (pêche/nectarine) suivi d'une finale citronnée , crayeuse et très saline.
  Ce n'est pas vilain, mais pas tout à fait représentatif de la maison.
  
  J'ai toujours adoré le style de Brocard, mais le millésime chaud de 2018 l'a quelque peu rattrapé et modifié les saveurs traditionnelles de la maison.
  
  J'admets toutefois qu'il s'en tire honorablement avec ce 2018:
  Relativement court, aux parfums primaires de nouveau monde, mais droit dans ses bottes. Il va durer.
  
  (**1/2+)
