Description
Our tasting panel found this wine to be taut, lean and long. Fleshy and rich with ripe peach, apricot, mineral and pear. pear. A classic 1er Cru Chablis.

Tasting Notes
A little more reticent on the nose as expected, relative to the Moreau Petit Chablis and Chablis bottlings from 2019, this left bank 1er cru has a cool freshness to it, an almost minty lift, before the more classic lactic and citric notes set in. The telltale richness and ripeness of the vintage is more apparent on the palate, given the soft, creamy texture and generous body (relatively speaking, of course). All in all it's a more tender expression, which should be ready to go a little earlier than the norm, and which will make for mid-term enjoyment I'd suspect - no need to cellar long term. Fine purity and refinement all in all. Score - 93. (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com, July 2021)
