The nose is zesty and fresh with tones of saline, white fruits, pears, green apples, peach blossoms, lemon peels, flint, crushed rocks, and some custard notes. This shows off good depth and style with an upfront quality to the fruit. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and textured with zesty, medium+ acidity. The acidity is refreshing and lovely with good texture and balance to the feel. This is showing well now, while the acidity has enough oomph behind it to allow for good aging over the next decade.
There is a tension to this that puts the tones on the back of the beat with red apples, quince, lemon meringue, pears, apple blossoms, wisps of smoke, kumquat, vanilla beans, nectarines, and some yellow flowers. There is excellent depth and poise to accompany the tension-filled nose. The Medium bodied feel is well balanced and poised with racy, medium+ acidity that shows off some excellent cut. This is very good right now, but it feels like it has ample room for improvement.
The nose is fresh and pristine with lovely fragrance to the tones of lemon peels, pears, red apples, limes, oyster shells, saline, flint, acacia flowers, and white florals. There is excellent poise and depth to the tones that show off an expressive side. The Medium bodied feel is deft and fresh with mouthwatering, medium+ acidity. This is lovely and open-knit. The fruit is a touch immediate, but the salinic qualities really shine beautifully right now.
The nose is balanced and elegant with rounded tones of red apples, pears, quince, lemons, peaches, creams, custard notes, vanilla beans, and apple blossoms. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and textured with tart, medium+ acidity. There is a fatter quality to the feel that works well while the fruits on the nose wears the vintage a bit on its sleeve.
The nose is aromatic, complex, and yet a touch forward as the fruit shows a bit of flesh from the vintage. Even with that slightly forward quality, this really opens up in the glass with fresh tones of green apples, pears, lemon meringue, flinty notes, key limes, river stones, vanilla, and jasmine. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and with some baby fat along with crisp, medium+ acidity that leans into a lengthy finish. This is really lovely and shows off a lot of poise and class. I think with some age this will improve a good bit as everything is there for it to develop nicely.
This is well put together and balanced with tones of apples, pears, lemon curds, gunflint, nougat, oyster shells, baking spices, and a touch of spring florals. There is good complexity, but it seems like it is holding back a touch and not as expressive as the other wines on display. The Medium bodied feel is balanced with crisp, medium+ acidity that has some cut. This comes off in an odd place at the moment. There are good underlying materials, but it’s not really showing all parts right now.
The nose is pristine and fragrant with lovely tones of sea shells, pears, gun flint, nectarines, quince, Meyer lemons, apples, vanilla beans, tidal pool notes, and yellow flowers. There is excellent depth and poise that really draws you in with its spring-like nature. The Medium bodied feel is refined and classy with zesty, medium+ acidity. This is really friggin good as it just brings out all of the things I love about Chablis. The fruit does have some plump qualities from the vintage, but this is a real winner and a joy to drink.
