Round and ripe with a broad texture, but still had the textbook steely citrus and lemon fruit of Chablis. The intensity and richness was well-balanced by the crispness on the finish. Fantastic value.

Light lemon toned and colored, this looks quite fat in the glass, with glycerin-rich legs. The nose though isn't overly heady, ripe peach but still that chablis crispness. This certainly has the opulence of the vintage, and is relatively ripe, juicy and open. A lovely lemony twist though on the finish keeps this balanced. Perhaps not bags of complexity, nor a textbook chablis (as few 2015s are), but this is very enjoyable. Drinking beautifully right now.

My contribution to a blind Chablis tasting and ended up WOTN. Nose - fresh minerality, tidal pool, pears, white blossoms, lime zest. Initally medium acidity that swells to a rich juiciness with a palate where the ripeness at harvest is present in the lemon, yellow raspberry, oyster shell, green apple & melon rind.

Ripe citrus, fair amount of glycerine, average acidity, little in the way of minerality.

La Paulée de SF Grand Tasting (Fairmont Hotel, SF CA): Good density and structure here with a lighter acid profile. Lemon/lime. Crisp, fresh finish. 91-92

Some Wines from the 2018 La Paulée Grand Tasting of 2015 Burgundy (The Fairmont, San Francisco): Ripe pear balanced by some salinity. At least you get a tad of leanness and mineral essence here. Better than the Vaillons but still not what most people are looking for in a Chablis.
