  Nice wine, a solid Chablis, but not as good as I was hoping for. Drinks well now but no rush. Hope the Les Clos is a bit more impressive. 89-90 pts range.

  Punchy, vibrant aromas of citrus blossom, pickled ginger and oyster shell. It is rich and textured in the mouth with good minerally detail and acidity that is supportive but a well rounded. It finishes bone dry and causes one's tongue to click involuntarily against the roof of one's mouth.

  Very precise and linear - basically take a load of seashells and smash them to dust and mix with a drop of lemon juice and milk. Transparent is the word that comes to mind - you can taste the terroir and minerals with hardly a touch of fruit. Very impressive but right now this doesn't feel like a Grand Cru - needs more time to let the wine mature. If I had my time again in the wine shop I would go for the 1er Cru at half the price which gives more pleasure for immediate drinking while this stuff sits in the cellar. Give it 2-3 years and will last a lot longer.
