Ouvert le matin, bouchon remis puis enlevé une heure à l’avance. Il aurait pu bénéficier un peu plus d’aération (par exemple j’aurais pu ne pas remettre le bouchon) mais c’est très bon, équilibré, encore un peu gêné mais nettement moins qu’à l’ouverture. Droit mais la tension est contrebalancée par le fruit. Un excellent Chablis.

Typical Chablis, but oh so good. Salty, fresh, mineral, light fruit, well balanced, when warming up some appel, white peach and more roundness. In a perfect drinking window at the moment

Tidal pool and iodine on the nose. Searing limestone mineral intensity. Juicy citrus and acid that rips. Power … Pressure … So raw … Pure Chablis. The best village level Chablis I’ve tasted. I’ve had this wine many times in many different vintages, but this wine, this vintage, perfection 👌
Drank side by side with the 17 La Forest which was no slouch showing more complexity, but was maybe a bit sweater and rounder to its detriment. Both wines were lovely, but this village is a truly special wine.

Second bottle from a half case purchased from the Dutch importer in 2019, when I tasted this wine for the first time. I was very optimistic back then, but I am afraid it is not living up to my expectations. The nose has a clear Chablis character of oyster shell and citrus, but the palate is quite dull and the finish is hollow and lacks drive. Sometimes I think I detect a hint of TCA on the nose, and there is a slight rough edge which is also indicative of this fault. Probably faulty (I hope it is), and I will record it as such.
