Yet another pristine and beautiful bottle of this. As was my next bottle. Glad to see this given the hit rate on this case is now about 75% very good to 25% tired or bad. When good, lemon yellow color with bright citrus, chalk, and white flowers and balanced acidity. Excellent. One bottle left, hope for the best.

Best bottle in a while. Light yellow color. It was very good at the first glass but even better the next day. Classic Chablis stone and chalk with high acid. Jasmine flowers, lime and dense structure. An excellent example. My hit rate on these versus premox bottles has been about 70% good to 30% bad but this is clearly a superior one.

I have had a couple bottles in the last few weeks that have been wonderful, which is what this score reflects. Light yellow color, fresh bright citrus and white flower notes, with typical Chablis stone and salt. Really very good. Right now I am hitting roughly 60% good to 40% tired and over the hill, so drink these now if you have them. All is not lost if you move fast.

Bright gold color. Nose is hazelnut, chalk, pears, and a touch of oak. This particular bottle appeared ever so slightly darker than two others and I was fearing premox. Thankfully, it isn’t premoxed but it is definitely nearing its end. It actually makes me think this is what a still mature blanc de blancs would taste like. To my palate, it showed a bit more youthful in a wide Conterno Sensory stem and Zalto red burgundy balloon (but may also fall to pieces sooner?) than a white wine glass. Quite good, very pleasant, but drink up.
