  Tasted while feeling a bit fluey so probably unfair. Did not find favour with the father in law.
  Just seemed rough around the edges and not what this lieu dit promises. The style also raised eyebrows.
  Perhaps worth retasting.

  Meget terroirdrevet, old school style chablis med kraftig sjømineralitet over nøtt/umami og slank eple/sitrus. Med luft toner av camembert og frisklatt urin. Elegant og stram også munn. Utrolig bra vin for menigheten

  13% alcohol. Tasted blind.
  
  Youthful, pale whitish-green color. Dry, somewhat restrained and very mineral nose with aromas of gunmetal and chalk dust, some lemon juice, light salty notes of sea breeze, a little bit of fresh yellow apple, a hint of creaminess and a touch of crushed oyster shell. The wine feels crisp, bright and quite intense on the palate with a medium-plus body and dry flavors of tart Granny Smith apple, tangy salinity, some ripe citrus fruit tones, a little bit of chalky bitterness, light steely mineral nuances, a primary hint of fresh pear and a touch of creaminess that segues into waxy funk. The racy acidity lends great freshness and intensity to the wine. The finish is fresh, bright and zippy with firm, acid-driven flavors of lemony citrus fruits, steely minerality, some Granny Smith apple, a little bit of waxy funk, light sweet notes of ripe white fruits, a hint of apple peel bitterness and a touch of creaminess.
  
  A wonderfully crisp, racy and classically built 1er Cru Chablis that is exactly how I love my Chablis: bright, mineral and very high in acidity. The wine is obviously very youthful with almost primary nuances peeking through at times, but the wine remains wonderfully harmonious and well-proportioned all the same. It is drinking mighty well right now, but also shows good potential for future development. The difference to the regular 2019 Tribut Chablis that was tasted alongside was remarkable, even though the wine felt like they were cut from the same cloth. This wine is just at a different level. An outstanding wine and one of the best young Chablis wines I've had in a while. Highly recommended.
