January 1, 2024 - Lemon and lime juice and zest, liquid limestone, sea salt, iodine, and lemon verbena notes make for a vibrant showing. Not as beefy as Valmurs of the past, the 2021 vintage makes for a more honed expression of the site. Signature Droin creaminess on the finish is an interesting juxtaposition from the citrus spray notes. A solid 2021 Chablis. Drinking great now already.

November 26, 2023 - A very citrus nose combined with notes of smoky mineral and seaspray. The palate is deep, rich and pulpy. There's pith lemon, cut by a big squeeze of grapefruit. It has real weight, texture and presence and great drive to the finish. Its all here, it just needs time to stretch out.

May 11, 2023 - tasted at the domaine; this is absolutely classic Chablis for me; sea breeze, iodine, citrus zest, green apple, super mineral driven; impressively intense and classy on the palate with a long driven finish; textbook and one of my favorites of the tasting
