How do the Marchives make such good juice for such a great price? Hands down my favorite chablis producer - the nicest people making really good, classic wines. Nose powerful iodine, oyster shell, lemon, hints of apple cider, hints of floral. palate with great acidity, hints of partial malolactic, intense mineral, suggestive of some lees aging, long mineral driven finish. This is a near great Chablis - hitting well above both price and really the premier cru designation.

This bottle showed a bit awkward, a bit too full. Don't think I'd have guessed Chablis if I hadn't known. Decent for what it is, but give it some time.

55F. Light yellow. Mineral, pear, apple on the nose and stone and apple on the palate. Very fresh. Builds continuously on the palate to pleasing finish. Young but drinking great if not too cold, improved being open a bit.

Starting to fade. Not as vibrant as I remember. Still nice Lemon Meringue flavors with some minerality.

Medium yellow color, weighty with some toast flavors. Hints of pear and citrus fruits.
