Not a full TN here but quite a mineral, clean, and green fruited expression. Very much a clean Chablis with limited oak in its elevage . Versatile wine and with lots of life ahead of it. 91-921 person found this helpful Comment -

June 11, 2014 - Very neutral lime green color. Quite rich, ripe and surprisingly open nose for a Chablis with very pure and fruity aromas of red apple, some ripe citrus fruits, a little bit of earthy spiciness and a hint of flinty smoke. The wine is practically bone-dry, yet still rather ripe on the palate with quite light body and nuanced, subtle flavors of ripe yellow apples, honeyed tones, some stony minerality and a hint of tangerine-driven citrus fruits. The wine is quite high in acidity, yet it comes across as relatively round and mellow for a Grand Cru Chablis. The difference to the tightly-knit Grand Cru Les Clos 2011 tasted alongside is remarkable. The finish is long, rich and fruity with flavors of ripe - almost sweet - citrus fruits, juicy red apples, some cantaloupe and a hint of chalky minerality.
Although not a big Grand Cru Chablis - unlike so many other Brocard Grand Crus - this wine still shows some weight and richness. However, while many Brocard Grand Crus are very tightly textured and almost unapproachable when they are young, this is a surprisingly fruity, ripe and approachable effort, even now. Perhaps the wine will develop nicely in a cellar, but this is definitely not a wine you'd age for more than a decade; I can imagine this will start to hit its apogee a few years from now. If you want to drink a classic Grand Cru Chablis young, this might be up your alley. I, however, prefer my Grand Crus how they usually are; in my cellar while they are still too young. This was a tad too soft and fruity for me to hit the top marks.
