Fantastic young Chablis GC. This producer is underrated.
The heat of 2019 was very well managed as this bottle was only at 13% alcohol and had lots of body and power, but was definitely not flabby. Sea breeze and mineral coupled with green apple. Textbook GC Chablis with refined power. This will probably be a little better in a few years once the oak integrates a bit more. It’s not too in your face, but it’s there.
The accompaniments were nice too 🙂 when your wine tastes like the ocean, always nice to pair it with something else that does too!

One of my favorite producers from Chablis. Nice pairing aswell.
Love this producer. My only quibble is that all the GC are usually bottled under cork and not Diam (like the 1er). I don’t know if you noticed that.
I really don’t get caviar… really expensive salty balls that just do not do much for me. If you want ocean, oysters do a 100x better job.
Thank you for the notes! I’ve often seen this bottle but never bought it.
This is about $80/£70 at my vintner, is that about in line with what it should be?
Apologies what is diam and why is worse than cork? I tried to google this. And what is the relation with premox and how does this all correlate. Apologies for the amateur questions.
How was the caviar?
