Lacking a little density, but exceptional clarity. Nice wine, but paled in comparison to the 12' MdT.

A very difficult vintage for Chablis. Rain + heat wave = dilution and botrytis. 2013s affected by this don’t have as much typical Chablis character. This bottle flashed a touch of tropical fruit upon opening but that faded away. Subtle, linear, high acidity. The minerality is definitely there but not pronounced. Nothing was pronounced about this wine. You can tell it is very well made and high quality but it is not “showy.” Be careful what you pair this with because with its delicate flavors it could get overpowered easily. The wine seemed like it was too young and needed time to develop. Perhaps 3-5 years before trying another. However, due to the subtle nature, you could argue that the wine is delicate and might not age well. I don’t have enough experience to say for sure but if I had another bottle, I’d put it down for a while before drinking next.
