The acidity is only average, but this is still an excellent 2011 that entirely lives up to its Premier Cru status and outperformed my expectations for it at this age. Bravo, Thomas Pico for such a fine result in a challenging vintage for Chablis.

    This showed pear and some exotic fruit after a night recorked.

    February 10, 2017 - Slightly buttery, with quite generous fruit and rounded acidity. Lacks a bit of zzzing at first, but comes around after about two hours in the open bottle, when the acidity and minerality really starts to sing. Superb! By the last impression (if not the first) it should be able to develop well for a few years more.

    September 17, 2015 - Très beau chablis su des notes de citron très mûre, de notes floral, légèrement miellé et de coquillage. Bouche d'une puissance maitrisé, mûre mais sans excès, l'acidité venant équilibre le tout. Beau chablis mûre, à l'acidité présente mais non mordant. Somme toute, plus classique, moins puissant et exotique que son chablis 1er cru beauregard 2013 bu récemment mais tout aussi excellent! Il lui restait un peu de gras de bébé à ce 2011 alors je vais attendre un ans ou deux avant d'ouvrir ma dernière bouteille.

    However, the sommelier server it too warm and did not decant, so there is a possibility that this was just tight on the nose.

    February 21, 2014 - Light straw colour. Pretty quick to open up, big and full for a chablis. Ripe peach and melon, even a tad sweet, but gets carried along by a frame of mineral acidity, which cuts along the finish. Surprisingly drinkable being so young.
