Heater week; 3/8/2024-3/17/2024 (Chicago, IL): Served single blind. A clear step up from the previous wine (which was the Bougros). Despite the broader Lavantureux style, this is unmistakably much more Chablis-like in stature. Taut with just a bit of reduction and plenty of oak on the palate here. Electric and exciting, this balances the excitement of Chablis acidity with the breadth of a Lavantureux wine. If it weren't for the intense lemon notes, you might even mistake this for a Côte de Beaune. Fantastic.

Very good Chablis on the slightly fuller, bit less mineral side which went swimmingly with a large variety of appetizers at our table. Served at Kolomon in NYC which I highly recommend to anyone who loves great food and wine.

Excellent balance of fruit and acidity. Might improve in the next two years but delicious now. Not necessarily a typical Chablis, but try it on your friends who like their chardonnays with a bit less steel/minerals.
