The 2016 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru has a gorgeous bouquet with green apple, flint, honeysuckle and light jasmine aromas. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, discrete use of wood here (30% barrel ageing for 18 months) with a beautifully poised, effervescent, orange zest-tinged finish that lingers. Fantastic considering the challenges of the growing season. Tasted blind at the BIVB Chablis tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2018) — 7 years ago
A second steely citrus wine for the weekend. Not as intense as the Etna Bianco we had yesterday, but enough vigor and crispness to cut through leftover risotto and chicken breast on greens. I threw some apple in the salad, and this echoes the freshness. Slightly effervescent on opening, so give it time to air out. 🐞 🟨 — 5 years ago
Terrific rich and deep nose of savory minerals and an elite airiness. Also a hint if that classic Pommier richness. Pure and fresh. Palate is deep, rich, savory and incisive. Mouth-filling and deep. Awesome structure and finesse. So well made. Flavors of lemon, lemon pith and some savory elements. Has years to go. Truly great. — 4 years ago

Such a ridiculous Pinot Noir, the fruit is giving 110%, crazy value for ~$20!
