Third in a six months. Every bit as good as the last two. It’s the sort of showing that explains why Droin is getting such praise. This explodes on the nose from the open. Oyster shell. Saline. Hint of generosity of fruit (for a Chablis) that is common to the Valmur site. Super elegant and refined. The palate is the epitome of balance and refinement. Very mineral and crisp. Lazer focused. Everything I love in a serious Chablis. Gpod underlying power. Gets better and better in the glass. Still a long life ahead I would suspect. If I can resist. Which so far isn’t working out very well. Another Droin masterclass. In Droin we trust.

Un autre beau Droin, encore jeune, signature habituelle de silex, bord de mer et noisettes entre autres, belle rondeur avec cette tension assez appuyée, toujours un délice.

Oysters, Shabu Shabu, Chablis, and Burgundy (San Francisco): Light greenish yellow. Lemon and herbs. Medium weight, outstanding acidity, green citrus, and excellent rocky finish. Still youthful and bright. As good as it was, it paled in comparison to the towering 1996 Dauvissat Clos.

Typé Droin et Chablis, tendu, touche de fumée, miméral, bord de mer, salin, belle longueur, quelle qualité pour le prix. Aucune fatigue pré-maturée.
Gorgeous Chanlis and Droin style, mineral, tense, saline, balanced and zero premature fatigue.
