  Nose is a little restrained in the beginning but has so many different layers.
  Chrushed almonds, lemon peel, meringue, chalky notes, toast, yoghurt, sweet pear and a hint of acacia and chamomile.
  Has a lot of weight on the palate as you would expect from a grand cru, and love the tension which is so classic to this vintage.
  I left a little for the day after and was so suprised to see how this wine evolved in a good way! It had a lot more personality indicating that the wine will show better over time. If you have a bottle, I would wait at least another year!

  The light straw color is deceiving because there’s a prominent citrusy pineapple nose with an acidic mineral tartness to the finish.
  
  As expected from a grand cru, the fruit concentration is not lost in the acidic balance of a classic Chablis. Clean, bright Chardonnay that lingers pleasantly with a refreshing mouthfeel and only slight hint of oak.
  
  This 2014 can surely hang around for a while longer which will likely soften the minerality without loosing its true Chablis character.

  Pale almost white coloring. Clean, crisp and high acid with enough creaminess and depth to keep it from being too austere. Tart grapefruit, lemon bar, granite, flowers, and a touch of brioche. Incredibly young and in need of 3-5 years to fatten up.
