Well...didn't make it 5yrs from my last note...just 2...and there goes the last bottle of this, and my last Louis Michel GC. Very tight and solid cork in the bottle...but this one shows a tad more advancement than the last. Darker amber in color, nose shows some baked apple drizzled with honey...lovely chalky limestone, crushed oyster shell salinity, sea air funk. No issues at all though on the palate, as there is a nice fresh squeeze of lemon citrus, and vibrant sour skin green apple...good kick of energy...ginger and dried honey spice...softness of wax...subtle aged nuances of wonderful Chablis terroir! Although showing more signs of age than I would have liked, I do think this wine is very pleasurable and gives you that GC Chablis satisfaction...especially at the prices paid on release! So long my friend!

Still quite muted. Seems to be in a difficult phase. Small hints of greatness, but could be much more.

This needed a bit of air time to settle down but was very nice once it did. Crisp fruitiness, good acidity. my last bottle. Drink or hold.

Horrible premox. Down the drain.

My first of three and happy about no premox. Drank with deep fried halibut. Crisp and bright. Drink or hold (if you are willing to risk premox)
