April 1, 2024 - Very fine Chablis. Oyster shells and crushed rocks, rich fruit and bright acidity. There’s a lot of complexity here, with some very subtle oxidative notes. I wouldn’t hold these bottles much longer personally, while this is lovely right now, I’d worry that it could take a turn in the wrong direction in the not too distant future.
January 20, 2024 - Tasted blind. Crushed stones and white flowers on the nose. Very tight, good acidity, but still young. Oak is noticeable and not fully integrated. Great structure. Will be better in a few years.
January 5, 2024 - Starts out with reduction and darker gold colors but with air both change. The reduced notes slowly dissipate and the color changes to a medium yellow quickly. This is a dense, structured wine. It is clearly Chablis with the mineral, salt and sea but it also has some deep fennel notes, lemon peel and jasmine. Not as perfumed as some vintages. I really think this is good and suspect it will last longer than some of these other notes suggest. It is just burlier and less elegant than some.
June 24, 2023 - Drunk the day after Raveneau Butteaux the day before (see note). This is delicious, but definitely more forward than the Raveneau and I would drink this now.
March 14, 2023 - These 2013s are on fire extremely dense and delicious
March 2, 2023 - We've been opening a bottle a year of this vintage over the last few years but if I can, will try to hold off 2 more years until the next bottle ... This was double decanted and followed over 3 nights and it showed best on nights 2 and 3. A bit doughy at first but over time showed a promising mineral extract density with starchy chardonnay fruit and lemon. Good cut and tannins. This won't be at peak at this rate for a few more years, so hold them in a cold place if you only have a few ... Rating: 92+
February 27, 2023 - Dinner at The Sundial: Impressions. Creamy, dense, slight oily texture.
February 10, 2023 - Super refined with a hint of white flowers and exotic fruit, mildly stony, ripe citrus and a fantastic persistance; everything is so in balance that I suggest to enjoy this wine soon.
January 12, 2023 - Superbe vin bu dans le sud, en famille. Pur, iodé et salin, un délice au style très classique, dont on ne devinerait jamais le millésime. 92 pts
October 23, 2022 - Stunning nose. Deep golden color.
We were all guessing Puligny and bigger burgundy when tasting it blind. It wasn’t chalky or mineral like chablis typically is.
Super Aromatic, deep developed exotic fruit flavours with nice oak integration. Honey, yellow fruit and a silky oily texture in the finish. Absolutely superb wine!
