Light color. Like my bottle last fall this is fresh, floral with light stone notes. Lime and fennel. It is missing some depth but it is well worth drinking. Just not sure it will improve from here but I will probably hold back a few bottles to see if it does. We had a 2013 Dauvissat AOC Chablis before this and the contrast was remarkable. The Dauvissat was darker, reduced, intense and broody with mineral edge. I think I liked the Dauvissat better.

Medium yellow. Nice Chablis crushed stone/seashell nose. Talc/lime rind. Clean, fresh, incisive entry. Good acidity, but supporting, not biting. Very mineral palate, citrus pith, quarry dust, but wonderfully vinous. Quite a long finish. Not super concentrated, a more elegant style of Grand Cru Chablis. Did not last long.

Seattle Chevaliers taste Chablis and Gevrey-Chambertin (Seattle, WA): Minty, schist, very lemon/lime, salty and citric. Some tropical aromas sneak in with more air, and this loses freshness while gaining a slight oxidative edge. It's a nice wine but lacks cut and precision.

Light pale yellow color. Fresh, crisp lemon flavors with sea and iodine. Very typically Chablis and very good to drink right now. Not as much depth as I would expect at 10 years. My only reservation here (and hence not higher score) is a faint suggestion of butter on the finish. Does this mean I should drink this soon before it goes downhill? I really don’t know, but I will keep a close watch on the rest of this case. Totally enjoyable for current drinking however so don’t hold back.

G2. As thin as you might expect from a 2013. Tasting at Phenol.
