Not as blown away as last time - really solid and well put together, but was a little ordinary next to the 2010 Fevre Bougros, which completely blew me away with its concentration and energy.

Superb and in top form. Acidity, but a rich quality. Great depth and length. Chablis slate secondary to its big qualities. Immediately enjoyable but improved slowly in the decanter.

This was good, but this bottle at least seemed to be in the beginning phase of going downhill; I wouldn't call it oxidized as it is still quite delicious, but there were some bruised fruit notes that made it seem close. There is still good underlying concentration and vivacity to the flavors with floral notes and hints of iodine, but it reminded more of a wine from the Cote than Chablis.

Bit of SO2 on the nose, medium intensity, has a lightness and elegance, but with enough depth to say "this is Grand Cru in a great vintage", good doses of oyster shell and sea spray make this quintessential Chablis, with slight hints of saline and lemon citrus through the finish. A lovely wine, still young but drinking beautifully.

Big chardonnay . Maybe missing some balance for the higher score. But very good to drink. I should wait a liitle bit longer for the grand crus. Wait !!!!!!
