Say goodbye to tooth enamel if you drink this one young.
The nose on this wine reminds me of a rolling stream on a hike in a national park - fresh spring water over a bed of rocks, fresh air all around. Once you get it in your mouth, it's citrus acid bath time! Grapefruit and lemon overpower everything, and a load of acidity - crisp, clean, sharp acidity. The minerality shows up again in the finish, and it finishes gradually and cleanly.
I'm a guy who likes high acid wines, but this one is, while enjoyable to folks like me, WAY too young. I will be holding the rest of mine for at least a few years.

Lovely flinty, piercing, text book Chablis that is lithe and direct. Not overly complex yet cools one from the core out with all its minerals and refreshing citrus traits.

A very good village Chablis with just enough fruit to balance the razor-like acidity. You don't have to be an acid freak to love this wine, but it certainly helps!

Really good stuff, particularly for VV. Complex, great finish, refreshing and floral nose

Chablis, Melville Clonal Blending and The Round 3 Let 'Er Rip (My House In The South OC): Pure crushed rocks with a good dose of saline and lots of grapefruit. Of the many Chablis we tasted along side this wine, this bottling had a lot of intensity and expression.
