Certainly not a traditional village Chablis, showing heavy ML character and creaminess on the nose after spending a few short months in roughly 50% new French oak. On the palate things unfold differently. Great acidity, stony and briny mouthfeel with saline flavor profile that also offers tart green apple, melon and a hint of lush tropical fruit on the finish. Surprising structure and tension going on here given the style (particularly the aging). It’s a hard sell but nonetheless an impressive wine should you find it in a shop or the wine list. Just don’t expect traditional.

Popped and poured. The wine pours a straw color with medium viscosity; no signs of particles or gas. On the nose, the wine smells like bright, slightly underripe tropical fruit: pineapple, with some lemon and chalky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry, medium (bordering medium+). Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium and loaded with minerals. A more than serviceable afternoon sipper. Drink now.
