Awards/Ratings
Jasper Morris: 89–92 (2023 review). Positive retailer and critic notes praising minerality, balance, and ageing potential (drink 2026–2032 suggested)

Tasting Note
Pale golden Chablis with lemon, green apple, pear, white flowers and almond notes; pronounced Kimmeridgian minerality, flinty/gunflint character, saline finish and vibrant, racy acidity.

Food Pairing
Oysters and shellfish, grilled or meunière sole/turbot, roast chicken or veal, lobster thermidor; Asian: sushi/sashimi, steamed fish (Cantonese), light Thai or Vietnamese seafood dishes.

Production Method
Cold fermentation in stainless steel with 15–20% barrel élevage; malolactic conversion and lees ageing (tank and limited oak) to preserve Chablis freshness and minerality.
