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)
