Faintly ripe aromatics, but this easily manages to avoid anything flabby. Mostly lean lemon and lemon with good enough weight, better length, and very good brightness from start-to-finish. While this is certainly on the simpler side for Chablis 1er Cru, it is textbook Chablis from a vintage where many others failed that metric.

2019 Domaine des Malandes at Dear Margaret (Chicago, IL): Wowzers, what a brilliant way to start the lineup. This is quintessential Chablis -- bright, mineral wine with just enough fruit to give this the body it needs. Absolutely delicious stuff. Perhaps not the right wine for the long haul, but this is the one you drink right now. It's absolutely brilliant, especially at the price point.
