It would be hard to argue that this isn't the best vale AC Chablis going around - and at the same price as last year too!
At first smell is the immediately recognisable Chablis trademark seashell saltiness, building on that are aromas of hay and citrus pith. Structurally on the palate it shows lovely weight and texture, built from plenty of lees contact. Despite only using stainless steel here, it displays the power of the vintage with great ripeness apparent without losing its shape. It closes with a fantastic rocky, wet stone mineral feel begging you to pair it with some oysters. Can't miss at this price. Jeremy Muller, FWC.
