Kraters for the trenchermen (Les 2 Garçons): Full of bright energy and in a great place. Crisp, mineral and grippy, still with a touch of vanilla from the elevage, and good length. I will hold onto my remaining 2017s longer, in the hope they end up like this!

Interestingly, of the two Grappin whites I got from this year, this was the tastier and cheaper. Pleasing precision on the palate, giving enough to be a crowd pleaser but in no way blowsy or overly sweet. Still - at this price, EP, there is a lot of decent chardonnay in the world. I wonder if i need to restrict my buying to sub 20 and over 50 at this stage...

This is just about hitting its stride. Judiciously oaked, precise nervosity & verve. Driven finish. A conservative score.

Fatter, richer than the Santenay, with more concentration. Needs time to fully knit.
