Showed interesting Rhône type notes and spice at the start, but did not last in the glass. — 5 months ago
Pear and apple notes. Medium to full bodied. Crisp with nice minerality. — 2 years ago
A dark yellow - pale gold. See previous Delectable note from 145 weeks ago - this is most impressive. Aromatics of fruit salad, quince and herbs. A mouthful of flavour with fruit salad - quite tropical. Very different to the Chenin Blanc I had recently from the Loire Valley. This is advanced in its drinking window but still with a moreish refreshing acid finish. Chenin Blanc - an unsung hero from New Zealand. One of the 1001 wines. — a month ago
Popped and poured, no formal notes. At this stage, I find the 2019 "Le Bas de Chapelot" to be absolutely delightful, if not a bit of an outlier. I write that as a compliment because this gives me 1er cru vibes despite the more humble "Chablis" designation. In actuality, the source for this bottling sits just below Montée de Tonnerre and when you consider that all of Eleni and Edouard's wines see a little bit of oak, it makes sense. This is wine of great character. It's got lovely citrus leaning fruit with some stone fruits and pomaceous fruit along with a touch of flower honey and a leesy quality that adds palpable texture on the palate. The acid and limestone minerals are there and bring balance to the force. Drinking well now and should continue to do so for many years to come. I wish this was more widely available to me as I would be reaching for it often. Definitely a producer I'm keeping my eye on. Drink now through 2029. — 9 months ago
At Therese Chris. 8/5/23. What an interesting wine! A white floral yet early profile with an almost creamy palate and chewy texture and long acidic finish. AA deal (5 with 10 Chard!) and first taste. Well liked by all. — 8 months ago
Solid Riesling. Lots of traditional notes like apple, but more banana than expected Despite the sweeter banana notes, managed to stay lively. Medium-minus acidity. — a year ago
