Glad I waited on 2007. The forward acidity in these wines had integrated nicely and the fruit balance was perfect. Hue had started towards golden after these few years.

nose of baked yellow apple, but very fresh (unlike the previous bottle) and vibrant. The wine is delicious and was great with sea bass and vegetables. But there is not a lot about this wine that says Chablis to me. Not that it cannot be enjoyable, but if I were looking for the iodine, tidal pool, white flower essence of Chablis, I won't find it here.

I have heard tales of this wine oxidizing early. Luckily, I can confirm that rumor is false. Yeah, there is no way that wine geeks will confuse this for Raveneau: way too much old shoe oyster funk on the nose for that. But if it smells, it's in a good way .... and at the same time a sweet yellow citrus curd scent lets you know where the wine is from. On the palate it's lean, sharp even. That doesn't prevent me from enjoying it, but if you're looking for serious depth of flavor you're in the wrong place. That's not a dig on the wine, in fact, i quite like this stinky lemon razor for what it is. Go grab a friend and two dozen oysters and plow through them and the bottle in half an hour. You won't be disappointed.

Austere, sharp mineral, and deep. I like this a lot, but too austere for Jane
