Dégustation Chablis 2014 (Chez François G.): Pur et ample, encore fermé et très jeune (ou souffré?), presque tannique. C’est dur et trop jeune, mais le potentiel y est. Revoir dans au moins 3 ans et ouvrir longtemps d'avance. Sévère et pas très causant en l'état, mais ça devrait se mettre en place d'ici 3-5 ans. 92-93+?

This wine’s reviews appears to be vary between pretty good and great. I am drinking from a 375 ML, so perhaps it is a little bit further along than a standard 750. The bottle has now been open for over three hours and has continued to develop remarkably.
I did not decant, given the 375 bottle and nearly 10 years out. But it would’ve helped, as the wine really did not start to unfurl until about three hours in.
Beautiful, concentrated nose of white flowers, stony minerality, some beeswax. The palate is sharp, laser focused and long, with deep concentration, showing lemon curd and more minerality. Really singing.
Overall very good++ to great. It so needs time to open. Suggest a 2-3 hour decant at least. Lots of upside here.

Dégustation bourguignonne (Boucherville): Un de mes chablis préférés, grand millésime, excellent vigneron. Néanmoins, je n'ai pas aimé cette bouteille, qui m'a paru acidulée et dure, avec un nez de buis, beaucoup trop jeune. J'ai été sidéré au dévoilement.

Meilleur que la première. Un peu de beurre noisette, une pointe de pain grillé. L’amertume est bien balancée. Long en bouche, une pointe citronnée.
