Definitely tropical and some salt, but a lot of sweetness as well. Not the strongest offering from Droin. The vintage appears to be a bit soft as well.

Medium pale yellow color. Acacia honey sweetness and stone in the nose. Some small but very assertive white flowers as it opens up in the glass. Lemon confit. On the palate the very first impression is of lots of sweetness from the wood (almost bourbon-like) upfront and bitterness, again from the wood, in the back. The very first impression is that this is not the most balanced bottle from Droin. However, it needs decanting time to open up (and possibly more time in the bottle). As it stays in the glass, petrichor on the palate becomes very evident. The nose develops some wild strawberries.

Nez Chablisien, coquilages, touche de réduction dans le style de la maison, en bouche du fruit jaune aussi, un peu de rondeur, superbe équilibre, un vrai délice. 91-92
Typical nose, very Chablis and “Droin like”, gorgeous balanced palate with yellow orchard fruit, more roundness than usual, simply delicious.
