November 25, 2023 - Quel vin! Moins tendu qu’en jeunesse mais encore frais, sur les poires mûres, expansif en bouche suivi d’une finale saline qui se resserre. Toujours impressionnée par les vins du domaine…

July 22, 2023 - PNP at Nanea. Beautiful nose, showing honey, lemon and a touch of iodine. Broad expansive palate that belies the reputation of the 2011 vintage in its richness and volume. Lemon and stone fruits dominate the palate, lovely acidity and energy, with a citrus rind finish. I liked this more than the 15 Blanchots.

February 6, 2023 - Initially this was a little overblown and disjointed but with time it opened to show citrus, stone fruit buttery notes and qood quality oak as well as a touch of honey...sub notes of marzipan, almond meal and apricot here as well. in the the mouth there is quite vibrant acidity, a touch of apple over citrus, those honeyed notes, a smidge of butter, apricot, marzipan, rather nice.

September 15, 2022 - Dinner at Les 110 de Taillevent , London (Les 110 de Taillevent , London): Such a great experience coming across these wines overflowing with life and energy.
Some decanting is advisable here too as it does help the wine open up. Richer than other 1er Crus of his, a touch riper and with well managed oak, soft honey a bit less flinty/mineral and more juicy richness but a Chablis after all and what a wine . We do indeed have a feel the 1er crus of his which are less fatty and oaky are the wines to go for. 941 person found this helpful Comment -

July 16, 2022 - Creamy and round. Lacked the crispness and acidity I usually hope for with these wines, but still quite good.
