It's five years since I had the last bottle of this and this latest one is much more pretty. There's no longer any bite - this is more complete, evolved, delicate and inviting. Subtlety and finesse abound. I'm beginning to appreciate how the extra years of bottle age can really round out a wine like this. Lovely stuff.

I had this wine 2 years ago and I thought this evolved very little. Same thing I thought back then remains true. It has some complexity and a fine structure but lacks fruit content. Finish is medium-. Disappointing for a Chablis Grand Cru. I doubt this will get any better.

Wine Education Service - Chablis is Chic (LSE): Initially sulphur on the nose, then attractive animal notes.
Deliciously fruity then bitter and mineral.

Very nice. A little sharp and biting, but not much. Needs a little more time to really show it's stuff.
