RVF (G&M)
"This Chablis is beautiful, with its golden color and brilliant highlights. But above all, it is very good, according to the jury members, who named it the winner in its category. It has a refined nose with mineral freshness, iodine notes, and aromas of white flowers. The palate is straightforward and pure, revealing a minerality that complements the fruit and well-integrated oak. A wine for immediate enjoyment." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)

About wine:
A Chablis from fifty-year-old vines in the Chitry area, vinified with indigenous yeasts (a rare thing in Chablis!) and aged for 12 months in barrels. The result is a white wine with generous aromas of yellow fruit and brioche, a fairly full palate, and a rich finish. It can be enjoyed now.

Note and opinion by Mr. JEAN PIERRE D. Published on 11/18/2015
Beautiful color, good balance between acidity and fruit; Typical Chablis. Best served at around 55°F, develops well in the glass. Optimum drinking window: in 6 to 9 months?

Disappointed: lacks freshness and minerality for me.

Review and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 01/30/2015
Surprisingly, this Chablis with a strong character stands out for its rather pleasant acidity on the palate, but with little noticeable richness.
