September 2, 2023 - Pale lemon colour. Medium and developing nose with ripe green apples, pear, ripe lemon, walnut, roasted almond, flint, chalk and wet stone. Medium taste of ripe green apples, pear, ripe lemon, walnut, roasted almond, butter, flint, chalk and wet stone. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. An outstanding Chablis Premier Cru with great complexity and length. Drink now or over the next five years. Goes well with cheeses, fish or shellfish.

April 23, 2023 - Lovely salty sea and minerals on the palate. It seemed to have a pronounced alcoholic tinge in the finish, which was a bit "unpleasant". Other than that, a great wine

May 26, 2022 - Hard to keep hands off this wine. Still in early phase, but so enjoyable. The last sips were the best... Nice balance and elegance, fruit dominated by citrus and green apples, wonderful acidity, and a crisp and delicate finish. No hurry to drink, but again, no regrets to pop the cork. 94+

March 17, 2022 - Gamay and Famille Paquet (Chicago, IL): Moderate reduction on the nose. Kind of dull, lacking the acidic brightness that makes Chablis Chablis, but there are nice stone fruit elements here.
