Solid! Has everything you love in Dhondt, but turned up a little. So balanced yet charming and complex. An absolute pleasure. If you see this, grab all you can and celebrate life there are affordable gems like this.

Tasted twice over this summer with similar results. Found this 2008 locked down tight Only after an hour did it begin to show some openness, but nothing like typical LGD to me The more recent bottle was more locked down. I’m keeping my 4 left for at least another year or two before revisiting.

Holy moly awesomeness!
Bought a bunch of budget-friendly Chablis from Ben at Cellaraiders in CT, and this was the only one under screwcap. Figured I’d try it out as the likely dud, and wow did this over deliver for sure! Bright but rich with a solid backbone of citrus minerality. Winner! Wish I had another.
