Intense yellow gold. The wine is fully developed and starts declining. Tertiary aromas are prevailing. Full of mushrooms. Marked acidity of 2002.
La Chablisienne own 75% of the climat. True Chateau principle as they have the facilities in the vineyard. The smallest Chablis GC with SW exposure. 40yo vines. Accentuated oak. Maturation 14mo both in oak and steel vats.
2nd of 6. Not overly complex but a classic grand cru chablis that is showing very well after 14 years. Stoney with good acidity and some biscuity hints. Still fresh. 4/5

Opening an older bottle of chablis is always like a non-lethal game of Russian Roulette: thankfully no premox with this, my last bottle of this wine! Just starting to gain secondary notes, there some light butterscotch and truffle notes on the medium bodied palate. A little lighter than some grand crus, but a well balanced, nicely concentrated and mineral laced wine with plenty of time left (if premox doesn't get it). We really enjoyed this bottle last night (A-).

Honey, flowers, stones, citrus and ripe yellow fruit on the enjoyable open nose. On the palate this is fresh and ripe at the same time, with complex fruit-honey-stone-citrus flavors. Lingering, long aftertaste with mineral overtones. Shows a real sense of place and is at peak.

Very clear amber. Milk chocolate and sherry nose. Premoxed.
