Chablis, perfect to cut through all the doom and gloom, flinty, ripping acid, delightful, very much looking forward to the next election cycle

Lovely, with a richness that stays firmly rooted in Chablis. Full of ripe orchard fruit, limestone minerality, and deft use of oak. I'd drink more chardonnay if I could afford more GC Chablis.

At a really great place right now. Seashells and citrus, balanced with a background of oak.

Nice wine. Initially we thought it was a little old at 12yrs, but it finished nicely. Very clean.

Straw with green hints; orchard fruit and mineral from a somewhat quiet nose; the mouth is lush, silky and saline, this is intense and delicious. Some spiciness came with time. Expecting still more to follow from this excellent bottle.
