Vau de Vey Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2021

Another year of bottle age has helped this wine. I love the purity of the nose. Citrus zest inflected, barely-ripe apple fruit, a wee note of Indian spice, some classic Chablis brothiness, intense limestoney minerality. The nose alone is worth the price of admission. In the mouth, it hits with an initial heavy punch, but then the acids kick in and lighten the mood. The flavors are a tad one-dimensional. The finish is not as long as I’d like, but it’s nicely minerally. — 16 days ago

Fourchaume Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2019

Excellent Chablis - innocuous nose but nice big jolt of pear flavor in the middle and zero acidity at the back end. Perfectly straddles elegance with body. Probably best as a sipping Chablis served medium chilled - complements poultry well but turns more average later — 3 years ago

Fourchaume Vieilles Vignes Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017

Deceitful Chablis; expected full bodied based on color and nose, but delightfully balanced and scallop complementary. Musky, mushroom, ocean water, and currant. — 5 years ago

Domaine Louis Michel

Forêts Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

Note this is the LM Forets Chablis not the Montmain…purchased alongside the Fourchame Malandes a few months ago but not nearly as good - perfectly pleasant, pleasing lack of acidity on the back end but also unremarkable — 2 years ago

Delicious and a little non distinctive. Is Chablis losing its terroir with climate change? Larger question looming... — 4 years ago

To answer your question: yes, if the average temps stay where they appear to be in recent vintages or get higher.
