This is terrific and Neil Martin’s review is opposite of my experience. Nose has intense lemon lime with terrific sweet Meyer lemon drop and intense seashell minerality. Almost perfumed. Obviously very young but wonderful. Palate is electric. Palate is electric with loads of acid and mineral and a tight core of fruit that will need some age to flesh out. Long finish with tense fruit and mineral.

Sep 2nd, 2018Moving ahead to another Chablis, our weather cooled down to 93°F now in the hills of the Berkshires of far western Massachusetts. Now to a Premier Cru whose élevage is in the wonderful and magical concrete egg.
Nose...if I could invite you to soak some oyster shells in water and then pull them out, shove your nose in them, this is that smell, then add a squeeze of lemon.
Palate... Wow minerality, flowery notes, very balanced acidity it's so attractive, so fresh! A crazy value at $32...concrete egg in Chablis? WTF why isn't everyone doing this?
24hr Update: Mineral core persists, touch of light acidity, almost better the following day.

A really unique Chablis. It emphasizes juicy fruit over brothy, limestoney minerals. But it also has the nice acidity one hopes for in Chablis. There is a nice, slightly smoky, flinty note in the nose. Finishes a tad diluted, however.

Awesome energy and length. So good. Lime zest and seashells for days. Sappy and nice dry extract levels.
