  Drank with dinner of grilled marinated tuna and salmon, and sauteed shrimp with linguini. Two wines: 2006 Hanzell Chardonnay was the other. Both wines were excellent -- obviously very different styles. This was first bottle of a case of the '14 Laroche Blanchot, and it was drinking very well indeed. Medium weight, not austere, but well delineated. Very well balanced. Good structure and length. I'm really looking forward to enjoying this over the next several years. Fascinating contrast with the '06 Hanzell, which was a much richer, more powerful style. An education for a couple of younger guests showcasing superb examples of New vs. Old World Chardonnay.

  Bel accord avec les huîtres en entrée; très beau Chablis tout en finesse et élégance, belle précision; bouquet d'agrumes, fruits à chair blanche, poussière de roche, miel, coquillages et sels marins. Bouche à accent minéral et crayeux, belle longueur et l'équilibre est impeccable, bref du beau jus! C'est prêt à boire mais 2 ou 3 années supplémentaires pourraient être salutaires à fin d'aller chercher plus de complexité.

  Bien bon. Très "pogner" au début, ne donne pas grand chose au nez et en bouche. Gagne avec l'air, c'est bon, mais pas extraordinaire.
  
  3/5

  Nez qui a encore une touche boisée et des notes citronnées. Un vin avec une touche de réduction mais qui est délicieux, belle concentration, minéral avec une certaine richesse, assez en équilibre, n’a pas la classe et l’élégance des grands mais c’est très bon. 90-91

  Got this at a restaurant on a “Bin end” special post Covid-19 opening. Great wine at a great price that was about current retail. Light yellow color, nice crisp acid freshness with a bit of richness for balance. Jasmine white florals, green apple peel and salty pineapple. Very nice. If I had this in my own cellar I would hold for a couple more years, but it is really good right now so no need to wait.
