Between 90-91 here.

For village level, this is quintessential Chablis. No reductive profile aromatically, simply lemon, honeysuckle, sea spray. While racy, this has good weight on the palate. Underripe peach, almond, and mineral/limestone-like tart profile at the finish. Good acidity. Followed over two days and stayed consistent.

Pleasant if a tad on the acidic side of life. Could calm down with some time, great PV.

ripe yellow apple, yellow peach w/subtle white floral aromas and beeswax. fruit Flavors on palate are tart-underripe yellow apple, lemon curd, chalky minerality appears on back end, high acid that is well integrated, balanced and not searing. Long and mouth watering. Elegant style

A fine #chablis The nose was overwhelmed by oyster shells and lemons with moderate intensity. The acid was very high and calmed down with food. Medium complexity and length. #samuelbillaud #burgundy #chardonnay #village #ctbucklinwine
