Classy apple and lime flavors, fine acidity, and a nice touch of vanilla from the oak barrels. Seems to have gained in depth and complexity with age and it is drinking really well now. Excellent qpr.- 91 points

A lovely and fresh Chablis 1er Cru. A bright green and yellow apple fruit, bitter lime flavors, and a bit of sweetness / hint of residual sugar on the palate. All balanced by a racy acidity that I did not quite expect from a 2019. There is just a hint of oak adding a nuance of brioche and vanilla flavors. A very fresh and crisp style. I like it, but would rather pair it with Asian cuisine than the classy sea-food due to its sweet elements. Should age well a few years. - 90 points

2019 Domaine des Malandes at Dear Margaret (Chicago, IL): Similar in character to the Montmains, but with a sweeter fruit profile that's quite nice. The fruit comes across as a little darker and deeper, but there's a little more raciness to balance it out. There's also a slight hint of neutral oak influence here, that gives this a rounder palate texture.

Lovely Chablis. Apples, lime, fine acidity, brioche and vanilla. Not very complex, but highly enjoyable. - 90 points
