  Decanted 1 hour then back into bottle. Ripe yellow fruit envelop the nose. Golden delicious apple, yellow pear, honeydew melon. Very ripe citrus too. Same on the attack then massive ripe lemon and lime on the mid palette. Some salinity and Parmesan rind on the finish. Later on a waxy lemon skin quality on the nose. The mass of fruitiness is so enjoyable and moreish it could be seriously dangerous if you were actually thirsty. I would never call it as Chablis due to its roundness and lack of tension. I enjoy Chardonnay from the new world, and this reminds me of one of them, perhaps California.

  One hour double decant. Pours a slightly more evolved colour than you might expect for a young wine, which is somewhere between deep lemon and pale gold. An incredibly ripe - arguably over ripe - fruit profile on the nose with layers of really waxy yellow and white fruit peel. Very atypical of Chablis at this point. The palate is a little more restrained and representative of the region with a slightly tarter and more refined fruit profile, a touch of salinity, and evidence of a little too much oak on the finish. A little heavy handed and lacking the energy, tension, minerality, and most importantly the typicity of Chablis. My second experience of this producer following the 2003 Les Preuses and neither has impressed.

  pretty nice palate with the right elements, but this was too soft to score higher, pleasant but a tad simple and rounded for my tastes
