The 2013 Chablis comes from marl soils mixed with sand and clay and a majority is fermented in stainless steel vats and raised for 9 to 12 months. It has a very generous apricot and lemon curd-scented bouquet that perhaps feels a little obvious. The bottom line: a punter-friendly Chablis. The palate is clean and crisp on the entry with fine acidity, but the second half is missing some depth and it feels too herbaceous on the finish. Drink now.

Sleek, with bracing acidity defining the lemon, apple and stony flavors. Has enough flesh for balance and a long, subtle finish. Drink now through 2020. 1,750 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Chablis Select to Add
