Perhaps my favorite of the big negociant houses in Chablis. Very consistently high quality. Classic nose on this one. Tons of dirty limestone minerality, a little chicken brothy note, ripe appley fruit. Flavors pretty classic too. Mineral, bitter-tinged apple skin. Zero oak. Soft and mouthfilling. Acids a bit on the low side, but the minerality and bitter edge keep it fresh. Nicely done. For drinking in the short term.

Minerality galore. Pear on the nose. Chalky and soapy. Some very pronounced acidity and this crunchy toast quality.

Some wet wool reduction that sort of blows off. Lemon, nuttiness falls a little short
