February 3, 2024 - Light yellow. Nose of burned matches, grilled lemon, toast, and wax. The wine is surprisingly full-bodied with oak, sweet citrus, and pine. Medium viscous.
January 5, 2024 - Pas pris de notes mais c’était excellent et aucune note oxydative.
March 12, 2023 - Ready now. Truly exceptional Chablis -- unctuous but crisp at same time. Notes of 'yuzu', orange peel, balanced by oak but with no hint of 'butteriness" (such as a California Chardonnay would have for example). Great with cheese and white meat/fish in relatively hearty sauces.
November 6, 2022 - It took three days for this wine to lose its fat and permit its structure to emerge. But now it has. What a wonderful balance of sweet-acidic fruit and mineral. And that clarity on the palate that is the hallmark of this great wine producer. 2016 was not a easy year for Chablis, but this wine is stunning.
April 30, 2021 - 3 days in Napa: Arkenstone, Memento Mori, Maxem, The French Laundry, Christopher Tynan, Kinsman, Harlan, Vice Versa, Accendo, Fairchild, Macdonald, and a truckload of others (Napa): I truly dig this wine. I love the electricity and the supreme focus here. It is chiseled and detailed without being sterile and continues to offer so much zippy pleasure. Squirt, lemon-lime juice and zest, sea salt, and a hunk of chalk, this sprinter matches an uber pure and clean contour with a peppy vigor that makes for a flawless execution of citrusy wowness. Excellent acidity. This is exactly my jam for Chablis. Gotta find more of this! As I often say, drink now for the dynamism, or hold with confidence for additional complexity. Pick your pleasure and you’ll win either way.
February 12, 2021 - Best enjoyed over the next 2-4 years, I don't think this has enough stuffing to improve beyond that.
January 25, 2021 - Crisp, acidity and refreshing with lemon curd, limestone and intense finish
September 18, 2020 - Not much change from last year. Green apple skin and unripe pear flavors lead the charge here, with energetic citrus and white stone notes bringing up the rear. Somewhat linear overall in its delivery, but the intense freshness and clarity are most notable. Complexity is lurking, but it will take at least some short-term cellaring to coax it all out.
Plenty of time here, so patience is likely the best course of action at this juncture. Sealed with DIAM10, so premox will hopefully be a non-issue for those looking to cellar this for a while. A lot of potential here. Hold for another 3-5 years. 92-94+ points.
September 10, 2019 - Lukket, men flott underliggende konsentrasjon, veldig flott balanse. Vektløs og svært lang. 92
July 24, 2019 - Lots of flavor in this. Apple , pear and honeysuckle . Long finish. Very good wine.
