Once again, the nose is markedly cool and reserved with its prominently floral and citrus-suffused aromas of wet stone, shellfish and pungent iodine wisps. The sleek, sophisticated and focused larger-scaled flavours brim with minerality and a reasonable amount of dry extract while the driving, chiselled and linear finish is strikingly long. Interestingly, this doesn't possess the same density as either the Blanchot or the Valmur but it is already more complex and so compact that it's clear this is going to require extended cellaring to arrive at its apogee.
Chablis pairs exceptionally well with oysters, shellfish, and other seafood dishes, as its crisp acidity and mineral character complement the brininess and delicate flavors of the seafood.
