Fantastic…no notes taken but this over-delivers.

Solid. Zesty minerality. Nice and easy drinker.

4th of 4 bottles. Paired nicely with sushi this evening. Lemons and apple flavors, with a hint of honeyed vanilla, perhaps from older oak barrels. A nice and lingering finish with ample acidity and nice cut. A very pretty village-level Chablis. Drink now through 2019.

Pineapple, lemon peel, a little oak, and light steminess coupled with balanced acidity - this bodes well for the ageability and future complexity of this bargain. I don't think this producer will remain under the radar for long!

This is really amazing stuff for the price. Should improve over 10-15 years...back up the truck!

Delicious and proper Chablis. A bit more ripe than ideal for my taste, but quite good. Drink now through 2018+.

Pretty good entry level Chablis. Light bodied, bright and fresh. Easy to drink on a hot and humid day.

Lovely Chablis, very young with some noticeable opulence that is pulled in by the med+ acidity. Beautiful finish, drink now through 2018+.

Quite a shy nose, just a little lemon and lime note. It’s almost juicy on the palate with a tropical edge to the lemon fruits. Medium bodied with good crisp acidity, rounds out on the midpalate with a little mineral character coming through on the finish.

I preferred this over the Picq last night. This was a little lighter in body, with lime and citrus. Brighter and crisper and more lively, though less of the salinity a like. I look forward to trying this again.

Oh boy, this is uber-delicious. At $22, this is a crazy value. Lemon drop candy, (deep citrus but not sweet), with chalk, crazy good acidity, and a long finish that is just scintillating. This wine is fantastic, case-buy for me in the future. Drink now through 2018+.

Pale staw; very fresh almost grapefruit, lemon, very chalky, pithy; palate is much of the same, lighter body, very fresh, saliva inducing, pithy, lots of mineral and tart citrus; good alternative to Sancerre.
