  Had loved the 2019 vintage of this cuvée and the 2020 reserve so had bought a case of those but so far had found them quite disappointing. too ripe and round, kind of bitter and without any lift. just a few months later though, this bottle showed very well and another one last week. pronounced oyster shell, great chablis character. still a bit rich, but really good.

  Great color. The nose shows forward aromas of orange blossom, orchard fruits, minerals, sea salt and a hint of herbs. This is medium full bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and very good class. The medium plus length finish features a mineral element.

  Great color. The nose shows sun drenched aromas of orchard fruits, white flowers, minerals and a hint of cream. This is medium bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and good class. A bit soft. The medium plus length finish features a mineral element.

  Good color. The nose was soft; showing creamy aromas of ripe orchard fruits, minerals, flowers and a hint of tangerine. This is medium bodied on the palate with very good concentration and good class. Round and soft for a premier cru. The medium plus length finish features a mineral element.

  Pale yellow gold. Ripe white peach and flowers on the nose with some smokiness. Good richness of fruit on the palate which is quickly braced by an excellent line of acidity and saline structure. Good length, Same thing happened to me as mentioned by the previous reviewer, after one night in the fridge the acid and structure waned significantly leaving only the fruit and the saline quality. Finish the bottle the day you open it!
