  La Chablisienne (Chablis): The smallest of the Chablis Grand Cru is belong to La Chablisienne, so technially, this is a monopole. With less than 10 hectares, the grand cru flirts with the Serene and benefits from the moderating effect. Its exceptional south/south-west exposure is the guarantee of very good maturity thanks to ideal drainage. The clayey, thin and stony soil rests on a kimmeridgian subsoil of calcareous marl.
  
  My first time trying Grenouilles, showing currently caramel, Himalayan salt, vanilla, wax, seaweed, melon, long lasting. It will need time this one. May be in 5-6 years it can show its minerality promise however currently, quite reserved. 90+

  NYE 2022/23 (Gohlis Foodies): From 75cl, DIAM closure, P+P. Blind, I would have guessed a cleanly-made, rather neutral Chardonnay with just a little hint of oak, perhaps some very soft pear fruit... possibly a Bourgogne Blanc ordinaire from somewhere south of Beaune. Inexpressive scent, short finish, not much in between. For such a young Chablis GC this seems not only remarkably tame, but devoid of most characteristics recorded in recent CT TNs. The bright or even "screeching" acidity others have described didn't show at all; indeed we felt it lacked Chablis typicity (choose between oyster shell, salinity, "minerality"/structured complexity, lemon juice... nope, not here). Not convinced there's a lot more substance in there, but if there is, I can't see it poking through for several years to come. 88P(?)
