Oily viscous good mineral tea finishes with lemon like acidity did not expect it to be so well balanced and long per the wine advocate and the producer:  Volume 115, The Wine Advocate
The Chablis Blanchots (2,000 case production from 4.6 hectares - 40 hectoliters per hectare) is 100% barrel fermented, 20% of which are new. It exhibits spicy oak, minerals and smoky hickory aromas and an oily, thick, luscious, extremely ripe yet highly-focused personality packed with citrus and oak flavors. This wine is so concentrated and ripe that, with bottle age, the wood flavors will be absorbed by the fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2006. Michel Laroche, the dapper director of this large Chablis producer, stated he had not witnessed a vintage comparable to 1996 in the thirty years he has been crafting wines. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Seems they were somewhat conservative in their estimate of longevity😆
