Note: I use a scale on which 85 represents a very good wine.
Decent Chablis, not oxidized, but in pretty good shape -- whatever funk there was blew off pretty quickly. A little on the richer side, which is fine withe me. Time to drink up.

Delicious, fairly small-scale 1er Cru Chablis that is in a terrific place to drink right now. No need for decanting or indeed patience of any kind upon popping the bottle - ours was perfumed and inviting from the moment the cork came out. What I especially like about the wine at this time is that while it's still well-fruited with flavors on the yellow citrus end of the spectrum, the secondary character of salt-breeze minerality and chalk have become more, rather than less, prominent over time and are now the main flavor components of the wine. At the same time I got none of the oxidative notes that another taster mentioned below. This may be a wine of modest dimensions but it's delicious, even gulpable at this point.

Nice wine. Apple sauce, pear on the nose. More of the same hits the palate, but a with a core of macadamia nut, and some mineral. Really good balance between these flavor profiles, with little oak, good structure and finish is also quite nice - with some lemon/citrus flavors. Not necessarily my favorite style of chardonnay, but I enjoyed this one.
