winemaker's notes:

An exquisite wine often drunk on its own as an aperitif. Pure and limpid color, with a faint greenish hint. On the nose, fresh aromas of flower and fruit (lemony flavors) and, at times, spicy notes of coriander. On the palate: harmonious aromas bringing character and elegance. The magnitude of its Grand Cru origin and the light salty notes from the Kimmeridgian soil are in evidence. Remarkably long and complex persistence in the aftertaste.

Nice pale yellow color with a bright, greenish glint. Clean and crisp on the nose, very Chablis-like. Rather full in the mouth with ripe aromas reminiscent of lemon preserve (citron confit). Mineral character and acidity are well-balanced. It is a very nice vintage for Chablis.

critical acclaim:

"Floral and spice aromas lead to lemon and mineral flavors in this rich, polished Chablis. Needs time to integrate the oak, but this is intense, harmonious and long. Best from 2009 through 2018. 65 cases imported. "

Wine Spectator

"Pale straw color. High-pitched aromas of lime skin, spearmint, quinine, juniper and dusty stone. Then supple and rather soft but light on its feet, with surprising mid-palate sweetness and complicating floral and mineral notes. Turns minerally and rather austere on the back end, suggesting that this grand cru will require several years of aging."

International Wine Cellar

"Tart apple scents and apple butter flavors carry a lot of alcohol, which makes the wine spicy and broad. It's a little spirity and liqueur-like, finishing on pear William flavors. A substantial chardonnay for roast veal."
