  Quite lovely nose with lemon notes, herbs, minerals, and orange zest. Good acidity with lemon juice and zest, and crushed rocks on the palate. Nice finish that lingers for a while. A lovely wine with nice complexity, but wasn't the big step up next to the 1er Crus that I was expecting.

  2023 Athens Wine Event; 12/8/2023-12/9/2023 (Athens, Greece): Tasted Blind.
  This is now impressively young and almost buttoned down and shy. Needs a lot of decanting at this stage and it took it a bit of time to get going and even 2 hours later this was still not there. We are not sure if it’s down to our bottle or generic for the wine ( we had the 2018 vintage of this 5 months ago and was magical for example, Papies 96) .
  The nose was shy and co use have been a lot of different Chardonnays. Nicol said this could even be assertive in the focus and energy. A wine of quality for sure but just shy. 91-92 and please decant.

  Lemon curd aromatics. Beautiful, clean and mellowing palate.

  Definition of lean, crisp and clean Chablis with tense citrus profile.

  Smells like honeysuckle and lemon. The taste is definitely lemon - very acidic. Despite the acid bite, it is pleasing on the palate. Really good citrusy Chablis.
