Côte de Léchet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2007

I absolutely adore this wine. Probably one of the best Premier Cru Chablis bottles I can remember tasting. A lovely medium straw color in the glass with faint tinges of green flecks. The bouquet is a tour de force of chalk, salinity, and citrus. Herbs and honey with just the right amount of oak.

It’s always fun when producers offer late releases which helps with potential cellaring. Developed but still on the young side, this is ready to drink now. The acid is just now beginning to develop into something beautiful. Emotional and thrilling on the tongue honey roasted nuts, lemons and limes, and seashells. A long persistent finish leaves you hoping you have a few more left.
