Chablis from a good producer in a warm year can produce some interesting contradictions. It’s not got a lot of weight or body but feels quite rich. Some honey/beeswax on the nose and that sort-of-green undefinable flavor/terroir marker Chablis has. I think I bought a case and this felt sort of confused and heavy for the past couple of years (as young whites in warm years often do) but it’s starting to hit its stride. Serious wine despite the Chablis AOC on the label
