  Nose is a mix of apples and a touch of yogurt. Palate is interesting, with loads of white flowers, with a distinct lactic component and plenty of acid on the finish. It is either in a bit of a dumb phase, or it has evolved in such a way that it's lost any of its initial characteristics. Either way, it's good now and I have no I idea where it's going in the future...

  Decent wine, good minerality, lemon, pear, but tending a bit ripe with tropical fruit and some malo.

  Pale straw colour from a 375ml. Nose of lemon, toasted bread, and a hint of chenin sweetness. Initially on the palate, somewhat tropical, atypical of a chablis? On its components, medium body, good fruit and intensity. Somehow on the whole, it appeared underwhelming at times and overly soft, again not what one would tend to associate with a chablis. With airing and particularly food, this wine came into its own. The fruits took on a more citrus spectrum, the structure and the mineraliity took hold, and the acidity kicked in towards the finish, particularly palate smacking cleansing. This wine grew on me!
