Score 87/100 · Drink 2017-2021, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Aug 2017

Palish bright yellow. Very ripe, almost candied apricot aroma. Fat and sweet on the palate, conveying less energy than the 2016s that preceded it in my tasting. A bit exotic and blowsy, not to mention dominated by its oak element today. This is a full 12.8% natural alcohol but with low acidity of 3.45 grams per liter. Finishes a bit dry. I wanted more tension.

(blended the day before my visit, for bottling in September; 20% oak): Bright, pale yellow. Apple, yellow peach and spices on the zesty nose. A step up in concentration and personality from the basic village Chablis: tactile and brisk, with lemon and lime flavors accented by dusty minerality. Finishes with a dusty phenolic character and good length. Very good potential here. Jul 2016, www.vinous.com
