Seashell nose. Dry white vermouth character, framed by brittle calcareous rock, green fruit and a peppery, acid finish.

That is a majestic nose, but also closed in and so much more to express. The one to age. Expansive and wide. Acidity and intensity along with such amazing clarity and freshness. Energetic and lean. But also so long. Inner mouth aromas, bonkers wine. so so so long.

Tremendous bottle. Nose has massive mineral stank with meyer lemon and so many oyster shells. So saline. Deep and enveloping. The Chablis symphony in full effect. Stunning. Young a f on the palate but oh so promising. Perfect balance and terrific tension. Finish is clipped for now but this will grow with air. Luscious finish that is juicy, explosive and so textured. Lovely focus, linearity and hierarchy of flavors. I’ll be back as this airs. Amazing acid structure here.

Gorgeous wine and nose. So clean and pure. Seashells, minerality, lime blossom, hint of gras. Palate is ripe and rich with lovely purity and freshness and such laser like precision. What a finish. Does now quit and pulverizes your palate with wet stones, lime blossom and limestone. Stunning and many years to go.

Wow. This is good.

Nose is mineral and saline. Lemon peel. Classic Chablis but on the intense side.

Palate is mineral. Some lemon pith but the lovely integrated richness is what makes this great. Lovely internal aromatics. Almost an aerated mineral made from lemon.

Finish is pleasantly bitter (lemon pith).

Bravo

Lovely.

Nose is lightly mineral. As it opens like a rich minerality. Which makes no sense.

Palate is juicy. So fresh. Saline. Delicious. Less of that concentrated feel than other wines of his I’ve had. Lovely sprightliness on the finish. Saline.

Pretty, classic Chablis minerality on the nose; nose is light and has some so2. Palate is tart and takes on weight with air, becoming delicious and concentrated. Perfect bit of sweetness on the finish. Early in its development… Needs years.

Nose is dense. Potent yellow fruits. Mineral. Elegant as it opens. Some sweet lemon.

Palate: rich. Such lovely richness. Mineral. Balanced. Savory a bit. Maxified Chablis.
