  Nice structure, GC level from Droin. Long finish, vibrant, took about an hour to fully open.

  Pale, reflets dorés et brillants; nez très chablisien, iodé, rocailleux, silex, leger beurré, fougère.
  La bouche est presque grasse, douce, sans lourdeur pourtant, elle caresse plus qu’elle n’empate; la finale s’appuie sur le terroir, la pierre a fusil, la noisette, le caillou chaud. Une légère puissance se dégage, sans agressivité (pas comme il y a 3 ans), le vin s’est assagi et repose dorénavant sur sa minéralité.
  Je le tenterais bien sur des Gillardeau…

  Extremely pale, almost colorless. A trace of residual sugar opens the palate. Lovely fruit, balanced by moderate acidity. Grapefruit, unripe peach and a refreshing minerality.

  Paie straw color, citrusy notes on the nose. Flinty, crisp palate. Lemon and mineral flavors
