Great balance of mineralogy and salinity. Undertone of citrus/acidity with nice richness. Wish I had more! Drinking well now but still plenty of life. Even better after 30 minutes in the glass.

Pico usually harvests late, and does not add sulfites at pressing, and barely uses sulfites at bottling. The result is a wine of excellent terroir expression, mixing maritime oyster shell influence, poached pear, with good phenolic ripeness, and ending in a chalky oyster shell infused finish with good lenght. This is a food wine, it is not self sufficient, it needs seafood.Would pair well with oysters, salmon roe, shellfish, wakame salad and the likes.

No decant, with Moule frites. Great match!
Complexity , high acidity makes it fresh. Long and goes on for 20+ sec.
Apples and salmiak, salinity and graphite

Moreau Naudet Chablis Horizontal and Chablis themed Blind Tasting (Bin 75 Alpharetta, GA): Deepest yellow color; bruised pear and golden apple, natty, so much of a Savennieres Chenin quality, apple, intense, fine mineral, late sizzle, honeyed fruit and texture; probably a wine that would resurrect but I'm lacking some fortitude and time to follow it.

Different from the last bottle. Odd, lanolin flavored. Maybe heat damaged
