  October 30, 2021 - A little reduction at first that blows off to reveal oyster shell briny steely on the nose with the fruit citrus more than apple, with jasmine florals.
  
  On the palate, it's a steely and chalky, soil and acid more than fruit driven classic Chablis. It's unadorned, chiseled, and detailed. AN AFWE wine for sure. Excellent interplay of extract and focus, but a little austere. I like that.
  
  3 days in the refrigerator did this a lot of good.
  
  Day 4, the last half of the bottle in the fridge recorked, this has really come into its own. Still a steely, sculpted, soil driven Chablis, but with a bit of unripe pineapple, lemon curd, a bit of nuttiness, brine, more florals, and more palate breadth. The already not that ugly duckling became a swan. A deep, focused, mouthwatering, soil driven Chablis with terrific clarity. A rock head's wine. Delicious. 93

  May 28, 2020 - This stuff is still terrific, and even fleshier than my bottle two years ago. It just reads Chablis out of the gate. Green apple and a salty air breeze note. Fleshes out to show some mid-palate sweetness that is surrounded by a mouth puckering salinity that lingers. It's not terribly complex, it's rather upfront juicy and edgy. Terrific liveliness/freshness that 14s seem to have.

  April 4, 2020 - A solid but not exceptional wine. I didn't get as much Chablis character on this as some of the other tasters noted.

  August 22, 2018 - PNP. Un vin de fruit, pas des plus complexes mais se buvant bien. Meilleur après le repas avec les fromages (comme d'habitude, les Droin ont besoin d'un peu d'air).
