Wow. Whopping chablisien fruit out of the gate. So mineral. Explosively.

Awesome lechet fruit. So dense. Luscious. Mineral. This vintage seems more straightforward and less Reflecting the intense house style than other vintages. Stunningly delicious. Bravo.

I cannot emphasize how delicious this is. It’s the apogee of lechet.

A hot year. The wine has some E&M magic but you can feel the vintage.

Nose is elegant slightly stewed fruits.

Palate is wonderful. You get blackberry and mid to late season cherry. But that E&M magic.

The nose was. 9.5+. The palate was delicious but not as complex. If the palate catches up to the nose over time this will be a show stopper.

In any case a decline wine.

The nose was insane. The palate was delicious but lacked in complexity to be truly great. I’ll check in again in 2 years.
