  December 10, 2023 - Joli nez citronné, voire d’oranges, quelques herbes séchées. Une pointe de crème pâtissière héritée de l’élevage. Il avait un coté un peu exotique à l’ouverture (le millésime s'y prête parfois), mais il n’y paraît plus une heure plus tard au moment de le boire. Il manque de tension, mais il montre tout de même une belle dimension crayeuse, de la fraicheur et une certaine énergie. Très agréable, mais pas encore pleinement expressif. 91+ pts

  August 20, 2023 - Very ripe fruit: orange, apple, some pear. With aeration some idione and sea shell notes appear. Not a bad wine, but not at the level a typical Clos should be. Clearly a matter of the vintage (hot).

  October 24, 2020 - In the context of things a major disappointment. If tasted blind I would never have guessed Grand Cru Chablis basic entry level perhaps. I do get a reality check when having paid good money for a wine of repute it does not deliver. There is merest hint aromatically that you are drinking a chardonnay, on the palette the overall balance of the wine feels very awkward and the finish is totally flat just how I feel about this offering !! On the positive side I have enjoyed wines from Jean Paul Droin in the past and did find that some wines need considerable bottle age before showing their best.

  May 17, 2020 - Ouvert la veille, épaulé et bouchon remis pour le lendemain. Très rond le 1er soir. Il s'est affiné le lendemain, davantage digeste. Ça demeure sur les fruits un peu exotiques, mûrs, et je pense qu'il s'agit de l'effet du milllésime. Mea culpa: c'est un des millésimes qui vient moins me chercher à Chablis donc à prendre en considération en confrontation avec vos goûts personnels.

  April 11, 2019 - A broad, fat, full-flavoured Chablis. Plenty of ripe peach and good volume and density in the mouth. There is something minerally buried under all of the flesh. It has a floral/heady note and is sweet of fruit.
