A little over two years since my prior bottle of this, and it remains quite fresh. Plenty of that saline/oyster shell character, but with a dash of spice and richness on the palate. It’s maybe not the most bracing Chablis, but it’s 100% recognizable as Chablis from a high class site. The flavors are precisely executed, like Robert Fripp soloing during Fracture (IYKYK).

Pop and pour, but this was lovely from the outset. Bright acidity, a spritz of tangerine, and then it settles into a more classic tart citrus and oyster shell grove, but with a tiny touch of creaminess on the finish. Over time it gets more saline, but the tangerine note creeps back into the finish, making it even more interesting. Happy to win the aged Chablis gamble, and given how this bottle is showing I might continue to risk additional time with my last two. This is on a lovely path.

Nez bord de mer, citron confit. Superbe bouche aérienne, bel équilibre, pur et précis, avec une finale saline. Très classique et délicieux. Prêt à boire, sans se presser. 93 pts

A little hot, aldyhedic, but good Chablis character and complexity and only middle age.
