It's hard to believe it was only three years ago I was picking of '14 La Chablisienne 1er Crus in the mid-$20s USD. Are those days (for a great vintage) gone forever. I think so. $30 is the new mid-$20s bargain methinks.

BHRH's Dec. 2020 TN is spot on. CT drinking window currently goes to 2022 and I think it can go at least that long, no problem, if properly stored.
Excellent QPR at $23 USD. Sad that this is the last of two bottles of this. Happy to see another dozen '14 La Chablisienne 1er & Grand Crus in the cellar!

Holy acid batman! This doesn't seem balanced but if the acid would integrate maybe in the future. I don't get any oxidative nor stone fruit notes. Right now, I got it as linear, edgy, and citrus filled. I have another bottle that I might sit on for a few more years.

Slow ox for 45 minutes. Delightful citrus, green apple and limestones on the nose. Zippy acidity on the palate with lots of minerals intermixed with a good amount of citrus. Medium-to-long finish with bright acid and minerals. This bottle was singing and well stored bottles should easily last another five years

Fresh, straight, nice acidity and improve day by day. Best performance is the glass 2 weeks after opening.

Light to medium body, good acidity and minerality with a touch of salt.
