  Some clichés can be manifestly true. Yes, classically made Chablis from a wonderful producer in a classically cool vintage from a wonderful 1er cru vineyard should evoke salt, oyster shells, tangerine, and lemon curd, as this one does, and yes, said Chablis should not only be impeccably balanced but also should achieve and does achieve that magical balancing act wherein the wine is richly perfumed, richly textured, and somehow poised and delicate and deep, all at once, without artifice – in a way that completely eludes any Chardonnay grown in any other place in the world – and the writer of said observations will state all this in a rather silly and yet somehow completely sensible run-on sentence, seeing how he is quite taken with this whole experience, and doesn't mind being judged by complete strangers for his logorrhea (look it up) on his belief that enthusiasm for life's small pleasures should be embraced and not mocked, unless of course thoroughly deserved.

  Profound, layered. Oyster shells and sea spray. Lemon wax and dried apricots. Bitter grapefruit oil.
  
  Excellent - begs for oysters or sushi.

  Off the list at L’Ami Jean, for a young wine this is pretty attractive. Tart white fruits and ample acidity on the palate with good carry through the finish. Very nice.
