For me it is a classic expression, and yes as Sleepyhaus wrote it has the downsides of a ripe vintage, but there is the steely freshness, the minerality and the weight so for me is a go, anytime of the day. This bottle slightly on the downside. Went quickly with smoked salmon bites.

Decent wine but speaks more to the ripe year than any traditional Chablis qualities of minerality, iodine, salinity, etc. So for me this is a decent chardonnay but this wine is much better in less ripe years; '12, '14, and '17 being notable successes.

Very pale straw with a touch of green. Oddly "nautical" nose of iodine, seaweed and oysters! Touch of matchstick reduction as well. Beautifully focused. Pinpoint precision. Utterly refined and self-consciously serious and uncompromising. Impressive restraint and containment.

Prácticamente igual que mi nota de cata anterior, fresco y fácil de beber. Placentero pero no emociona.

Citrus followed by honey suckle and apple and pear. Smooth to palette and easy to drink. Good pairing with dumpling.
