Tasting notes
The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru les Blanchots Vieilles Vignes has a simple (for a grand cru) apple blossom and pear-scented bouquet that needs to express more mineralité. The palate is well balanced with good weight and a subtle marine influence tincturing the malic fruit with a brisk, flinty finish. Fine, but maybe more premier than grand cru in quality.

Notes of freshly sliced citrus and mineral reduction combine with those of white flower and discreet spice nuances. There is a restrained energy to the caressing, intense and lilting middle weight flavors that possess good richness but also a lovely sense of refinement on the bitter lemon-infused finale.

(two barrels produced, one oak and one stainless steel): High-pitched, high-toned aromas of white peach, lime, licorice, fresh herbs and pepper. Plush and supple in the mouth, conveying enticing sweetness along with a saline complexity to its ripe peach flavor. Not at all obviously oaky but still a very rich style of Chablis.
