  again totally different wine than venerables 2015...
  
  at first slightly medium bodied and a bit sourness and strong minerality... but a bit disconnected, short lived hints of pineapple maybe
  
  needs some time on air to open up a little.
  
  after some time everything becomes harmonious ...
  
  medium bodied, rather darkish yellow already, medium to medium + acidity.
  
  with some time on air it becomes more difficult to discern discrete fruits, but some light feeling of honey... honey for me was usually only associated with montrachets.
  
  I still think that les venerables is one of the bargain chablis... should be nice with some more ageing.
  
  Time to test the 2017
