Oxidative and way too rich for a chablis. This new domaine, first vintage in 2016 got good initial reviews but I am not convinced. I remain loyal to the old “guarde”. Fevre, Raveneau, Dauvissat, Louis Michel and the newcomer Piuze. — an hour ago

Perfect balance between acid, bitter and sweet drenched in tropical fruit. Lovely botrytis, primary fruit for now and irresistible but will improve so much more. — a month ago

Licorice and red fruits. Incredibly precise. From 80+ years old vines in monopoly since 1990. Drinks beautifully now but definitively another 20 years to go. — 2 days ago
