Ten Grand and 1er Cru Chablis from the 2007 and 2008 vintages, both considered classic years. This Droin was the group’s #1. BH91.

Holding up beautifully lots of tropical fruits pineapple, dried mango, yellow apple, old pear, over ripe melon, mandarin, lime, lemon zest and amazing acid taking control. Would like to taste this in a few years to see the progression.

Vintage 2009 - smell has not changed/improved with bottle age, but taste has developed into a real delicious glass of wine, vannila, good balance and excellent aftertaste with citrus and butter.

Even more modern than previous vintages. Amazing combination of pineapple and lemon rind with super high acid

A favorite- fuller, more sancerre/cat pissy w the tics of age, but really emerges as a mineral zelig as it drinks. Plus, for some reason, completely undervalued (about 26$)

Natural body and electricity. I've said it before but I'm a total chocoholic for Chablis!
