Holy crap was this bad. I have a much higher tolerance than average for 'off' bottles (read: poor palate), but this bottle was big-time bad. Like, lift-my-twig-and-slap-my-berries bad.

Musty lemon and custard on the nose. Aged metal, minerals, and a touch of peat on the palate. Acidity still held up, despite the age. That said, the fruit is all but gone, and while there are some interesting notes on this wine, it would've been better a year or two prior. 87/88

I was given a 375 ml as a gift and after reading the previous reviews, I was nervous to share this wine with anyone...so much to my surprise, when I opened and tasted this Chablis I was very pleasantly surprised by what I discovered. The nose has nice apples, pears and lemon and surprisingly the wine had some really pleasant fruit, decent minerality, good acidity and a soft and fairly long finish.

A good Chablis from a remarkable maker. A very correct Chablis with solid lemon fruit and a solid acidic backbone.
Good!
