July 27, 2023 - Mag. Mid to full straw. Nicely saline nose. Proper attack, mineral, saline, good grip. Resolved. Really lovely. ****
May 10, 2021 - Undrinkable
January 21, 2019 - Terrific bottle.
August 29, 2017 - Tremendous. This is all about the minerality - dominated by a chalky and sometimes gravelly sensation. White fruit, only barely discernable hints of citrus. This is well balanced with a long finish. It was fine on opening but really terrific after about 30 mins in the glass.
March 16, 2017 - Work Wine Tasting - Chablis & Claret (Home): Magnum. Remarkably similar profile here to the Chablisienne example. Real sense of vineyard rather than vigneron. None of the custard apple of the previous bottle. Very saline and mineral but with a slight smoothing on the attack and through the finish. Lovely. ****
September 6, 2016 - Opened in memory of Stephane Moreau, the property's vigneron, who passed away suddenly last week at a ridiculously young age. Full yellow, perhaps a glimmer of brown as well. Unmistakably musky, soup stock brothiness of Chablis. Medium weight, outstanding, harmonious feel. If one can actually pick out fruit, I would say it is most expressive of apple, but any fruit is just a background element to the swirl of more primordial flavors. Excellent acidity although not terribly mineral. I would note that the wood which was quite noticeable through 2014 has now been fully integrated and cannot be tasted. A sentimental bottle for sure since we met this talented young winemaker in Chablis in 2009 before he was widely discovered in either Europe or the U.S., and a fittingly outstanding showing.
July 9, 2016 - Medium yellow in color. Lifted aromas of sea shells, chalk, green herbs, citrus oils and hint of flowers. Good depth to the greenish-yellow citrus fruits, under ripe apples, nut oils, excellent acidity and a long mineral laden and saline finish. Lovely.
November 28, 2015 - Magnum. Mid straw. Quite rich on the nose with hints of custard apple and vanilla. Nicely dry and crisp in the mouth before broadening across the mid-palate with custard apple flavours. Quite full and lightly waxy in texture. Crisp and fresh without showing the classic saline and chalky Chablis profile — feels more like a maturing Grand Cru in profile. Lots of interest here. Lovely/ ****
October 11, 2015 - Very nice. Seemed to blossom after being opened for about an hour. Mouthwatering acidity. Stony minerality with a lemon-citrus profile. Very long finish. I thought it was fairly thick and mouth-coating but my wife didn't agree with that.
July 18, 2015 - PnP and tasted blind. Relatively pale colour and fresh profile, with notes of peach and white flowers with pronounced minerality. Seemed quite Puligny-esque (perhaps a 2010 given the youthful freshness) and was quite surprised when revealed as Chablis. The quality was clear though - evidently a good 1er. Very nice even if not showing the typicity I might look for. ***1/2
