  Ouvert et bu sur 2 jours, mieux le second.
  Arômes de pommes rouges et vertes, une touche de brise marine, sec et tendu, manque un peu d’éclat et de rondeur.

  A peek of elegance but fairly ripe for Chablis with apple and tidal pool notes. Round and medium bodied, I want more vibrancy. Good enough nonetheless.

  Far better bottle this time around. This one had clean minerals, lemon curd, and quite a bit of finesse. Really fine grained and silky texture on the palate, with some subtle nuance. I’d chalk it up to variation and this version was lovely!

  While the wine did have some flashes of brilliance, at this stage, it was far too simple for my taste. There was a mustiness upon opening, so much that I thought it might have been corked, but this dissipated with air (a decant would be helpful). Piercing sea minerals with lemon curd, good acidity. But showing some alcohol and a little hollow on the midpalate. A shadow of the 19 Dauvissat Forets I tasted a few months back.

  13% alcohol. Tasted blind.
  
  Very pale, almost colorless whitish-green appearance. Restrained and slightly reduced nose with aromas of mealy yellow apple, some notes of hay, a little bit of flatulent reduction, light chalky mineral tones, a sweeter hint of white peach and a touch of woolly lanolin. The wine is ripe, crunchy and slightly concentrated on the palate with a medium body and vibrant flavors of white peach, some mealy yellow apple, a little bit of cantaloupe, light steely mineral notes, a hint of tangy salinity and a touch of fresh red apple. The bright, racy acidity lends great sense of structure and intensity to the wine. The acid-driven finish is lively, crisp and precise with flavors of sharp lemony citrus fruit and tart Granny Smith apple, some sweeter notes of cantaloupe, a little bit of ripe white peach, light mineral nuances of tangy salinity and a touch of chalk dust.
  
  A very nice, crisp and bright 1er Cru Chablis. Perhaps lacking a bit that depth, precision and minerality that Tribut's 2019 1er Cru Beauroy showed, but not lagging that much behind. Perhaps the wine is just not showing that much nuance if it is suffering from a bit of reduction? It might be that the wine just remained a bit closed for now, but will open up nicely once it gets some age. All in all, a classically built, enjoyably racy and very promising effort. Fine stuff.
