  Phenomenal. Smoke, burnt fruit, graphite, super saline, minerals/stone, hints of enticing butterscotch, crystalline. Enjoyed over three nights with no degradation.

  Another near perfect Chablis experience. No regrets but my last 02 BS Clos. Again super fresh and drinking remarkably well. Served with a terrific piece of fresh halibut.

  I copied and pasted my TN from last April. Really nothing to add except to afirm this is one the greatest Chablis-white Burgs I've ever had. Amazing and happy to have one more left for next year or for a few yrs beyond. Btl was in perfect condition again. Very happy this producer gets overlooked in the hype surrounding Dauvissat, Raveneau and Fevre! ....."4/6/2012 rated 97 points: Bottle # 2 of 4. This wine has not dispointed yet. About as good as Chablis gets. I'd like to taste this against a Raveneau Clos. Bet this would easily hold its own. Light gold color. Fresh floral & seaside nose. I like the added richness of the vintage making this somewhat akin to a great Cote Beaune Burg but with less oak influence and keeping that distinctly Chablis focus. Shows a complex array of citrus, stone fruit and minerality. Elegant with a lovely texture. Very happy to have 2 more of these resting at 50 degrees. Now, how long should I roll the dice? Paid $68 on release."

  Pale yellow. Extremely fresh on the nose, with citrus, minerals, flowers, mostly green fruit and subtle hints of butter and nuts. Balanced and concentrated. Lovely.
