The 2022 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru has a backward, recalcitrant bouquet with hints of petrichor and Granny Smiths. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, harmonious and just a touch of bitter lemon lends tension towards the finish, which is quite graceful. It is well-made and delicious, though perhaps not long-term. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2024)

Got some DIY gifted to me by wifey. She sent me packing with this little gem.
Clean, fresh and full of vitality. Citrus fruits and Granny Smiths, zero oak notes and measured acidity. This is a versatile wine. Quaff with or without grub, although this would roll to the center of the bed with sushi. My score is on the low side and I’m unsure as to why. — 2 years ago

Grown in the gravelly soils of Beechworth in the foothills of the Australian Alps. Nearby neighbours would be Giaconda, possibly the best Chardonnay in Australia. This was leaner than ideal but certainly an ideal terroir for cool climate Chardonnay. Good acid and tension but to be critical it lacks a little mid palate fruit. This was the first of 4. Will be interesting to see how it develops. Good value at $35 AUD. — 2 months ago
