Medium golden in color. The nose has green apples with a slight chalkiness. On the palate, there is a slight gun powder note with tart lemons. Plush texture. Slightly yeasty. Is this barrel fermented? An interesting take on Chablis that I very much enjoyed. Seemed to be love or hate it at the table. It does seem a bit advanced for its age. If this bottle was representative, it probably should be consumed in the next five years.

This is drinking quite well. At a time when Burgundy prices are soaring and the "best" producers are unaffordable, Chablis still offers the ability to get a great wine. The question is how long will this continue. Light green/silver with a slight gold in color. The nose is pretty classic with crushed shells, chalk and green apples. On the palate, this has a much creamier texture and more rounded than expected. Presumably that is due to barrel fermentation and a bit higher alcohol levels. No matter, it still has a nice green apple and mineral flavor set with is quite refreshing and de
Gold/green in color, clear and bright. The nose has chalk, salinity and green apples. Medium bodied. Moderate acidity. No sharp edges. On the palate, red apples with slight chalk. Easy drinking. Moderate finish. Drinking well now and should for another five to eight years. This would work well with shell fish.
Light golden in color. The nose has minerals, smoke, slight gun powder and plenty of peachces. On the palate, there is a sour lemon quality that is very nice. Clean with lots of energy. This is a round wine but the energy replaces some of the acidity. Nice finish. Drinking well now, it should last for anothr five to seven years.
Light green/gold in color. The nose is tight at first. It turns dusty with some lemon. With more air a bit of gun powder shows up. Better on the palate. This is oily with a round texture. Nice minerality. Good finish. Those I tasted with liked this relative to the other wines, more than I. It is not as crisp as the other Chablis and drinks more like it was from Cote de Beaune (which might not be a bad thing). This might get a bit better but I wouldn't count on it. That said, it should easily last a decade. I will be great with shellfish and other seafood.
