Magnificent. Among the best 1er cru Chablis I’ve ever had.

Nose white flowers. Seashells. Massive.

Palate: bright as the sun. Magnificent acidity. Sour Green apple.

Dampt in 21 was ridiculous. A fucking piece of history.

This needs a 45 minute decant. It’s rather simple on pop and pour.

Nose: powdered minerals. White flowers. Sweet lemon as it opens.

Palate: sweet fruit. Mineral. Bright acidity. Delicious. A bit straightforward but a great drink. Hmmm. Very nice depth. Sweet lemon. The missus says saline.

Hmm maybe the nose inches this to greatness. It’s really intense. Complex.
