- Astounding purity of expression here with hints of gunflint, oyster shell, minerals and that gorgeous green fruit that is uniquely Chablis in style, followed by silky, ultra fine, linear and almost delicate yet with considerable power, precision and length. More importantly, there is another dimension here relative to the 1ers and this delivers simply stunning quality with a classic bone dry finish. This is an extremely impressive wine that has everything it needs for a very long life.

- Knockout soil-inflected nose combines lime oil, white flowers and white truffle, along with hints of marzipan and clove. Wonderfully ripe and lush, and spectacularly showy today. The compellingly sweet flavors of lemon, lime, pink grapefruit and talc really stain the palate. The great, mounting back end displays powerful minerality and great elegance. A wine like this may well shut down in bottle over the next couple of years.
