Lively pale yellow color. Expressive aromas of lemon curd, white flowers and chalky wet stones. The pallet features white peach, green apple, lemon and minerals. Wine has seen some oak, (which creates a somewhat creamy texture) which is a bit dominant. Texture is a touch flabby but the acidity is gripping. Nice long finish that has a touch of salinity, but there is some sharpness. Not the best Chablis I have ever had, but it is far from the worst. Better the second day. Tightened up a bit. Wife thought it was good, so that slightly improved the rating.

This is a less expensive ($22?) Chablis from Domaine Laroche. But to be honest, I enjoyed it almost as much as the more expensive ($42) Vielle Voye from Laroche. High acid, lemon and granny smith apple. Very crisp.

Gorgeous deep golden hue, lemon zest, apple, high acid, high minerality.

May be a little overpriced for every day. Or not! Lovely chablis and will pair with almost anything.

Pale yellow, light bodied, food friendly with low (12.5%) alcohol. It paired perfectly with broiled salmon. Fresh apple, mild citrus and floral tastes.

2018. A solid but not mind-blowing Chablis.
