  Another vintage of classic aged Chablis from this house, more expected in this vintage than what they miraculously did with the hot vintage ‘05s. While their ‘05s softened considerably with time, this has retained laser (almost searing) acidity. Acid freaks (like me) can revel in this on its own or enjoy it with everything from oysters to creamy chicken, pork or seafood dishes. Cheers! 90+

  Shows a bit of honeyed age but otherwise completely competent chablis.

  This is exactly what chablis should be. I am so happy, as I have had several chablis this year that have been disappointing. Not this one. Green-tinged light yellow-gold. Nose is all mineral and stone with some citrus and sea shell. Crisp, but not austere. A hint of oak more in the palate feel than flavor. Could use a touch more acidity. For $20, this is marvelous. My chablis for this summer! (and next, too, most likely). (91 - 92 pts)

  Pierre à fusil, nez caramélisé qui semble être apporté par le bois. Mince en bouche. Pas mon style.
