A Chambolle + Champagne dinner: My extra since I shared this with some colleagues before dinner. Old label without the ok hand gesture. Most guessed Puligny or Meursault because of the creamy texture and a slight fatness to the wine. Much better than a previous bottle last year (with the ok sign label) as it had more freshness and salinity but still too much (artificial) sweetness; neither 2017 nor Chablis to me.

No Chablis character as stated below. The wine is seemingly off dry and has texture akin to off dry Chenin Blanc. Weird wine and disappointing example of Chablis Forets 2017.

Casual theme: Guessed Chenin but said I wouldn't be surprised if it was a warmer year Burgundy. Much better than the Montmains alongside. Ripe but with sufficient acidity and tension. Nevertheless far from a textbook Chablis.

This was really marvelous and firing on all cylinders tonight. Brimming with tropical notes like unripe pineapple, it comes across the palate so cleanly, chasing with a strong mineral gripping finish. Exquisitely balanced and has a ways to improve still.

Overripe apples, floral tone
Sweet apples, high acidity, minerality, fresh finish
A bit oxidized but still OK.
