  Superb. Elegant nose as good as white Burgandy gets. A taste of ripe fruit that does not dominate with lemon, salt, crushed stones. A soft, long finish of all tied nicely together. The heat of the vintage does not define the wine. All in balance.

  SLDS October 2022: Blind. Yellow florals, toast, spice and lemon. Rich and ripe style, lovely texture and still retains detail beneath the power here. Very young and energetic still.

  Rich wine with great balance and persistence. As it warms in the glass, the flavours are revealed - stone fruits, lemon, a touch of honey. Almost tropical fruits here. The weight and texture are mouth-filling. Rich but harmonious. A small amount had the following day was just as good.

  Good density and weight, still some zip on finish making it a Chablis but richer. As it warms that profile comes through and was very enjoyable, but fine line between good and too warm.
  No notes taken at time.

  Meursault, France. From the restaurant's wine list.
  Stunning wine; big, aromatic, grand-cru-level Chablis. Absolutely superb! Nice surprise considering the warmer vintage. Even more enjoyable than the excellent 2016 Montee de Tonnerre from the same producer.
