  Opened not decanted and served at cellar temperature (not that cold). Mouth filling lemon lime attack; rather heavy in body weight; lush rich and ripe fruit; ends with tangy citrus and some heat that turns the finish semi dry at the end. Good. (FYI, I love these wines. They never disappoint and are a relative bargain for burgundy).

  This is my first Chitry. A little darker in color than I expected. Nose is ripe apples, honeysuckle, and lemon rinds— almost like Macon. On the palate, it tastes like a village-level Chablis with good acidity and a dollop of minerals. It is a touch thin in the body, however. Slight vegetal smell that dissipates with breathing, but it depends on the glass (vegetal from Conterno Sensory glasses while fine out of Zalto Universal). This would be fine choice for a hot summer day clam bake. I’d say just make sure not to serve it in too wide a glass. Otherwise, I like but don’t love this wine. Tasted again a week later (different bottle) and improved without vegetal edge. Might be easier to appreciate Chitry if I don’t keep comparing it to Chablis— the style is similar but different. More lemony. Less minerals.
