2010 Chablis Tasting Note
This is also notably ripe yet admirably fresh with the barest hint of the exotic adding nuance to the otherwise classic Chablis aromas that complement well the rich, delicious and overtly mineral-driven middle weight flavors that possess good verve and cut on the citrusy finish. I especially like the vibrancy here.

2010 Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet Tasting Note
A reserved and elegant nose shyly suggests aromas of mineral reduction, citrus and tidal pool nuances that introduce beautifully detailed and seductively rich flavors that also enjoy plenty of dry extract that adds a sense of volume to the bone dry and highly persistent finish. This is really a lovely effort.

Chablis 2009 Tasting Note
Slightly riper aromas of yellow orchard fruit, floral notes and oyster shell hints lead to rich, delicious, fresh and vibrant flavors that possess fine concentration and a subtle minerality on the sappy, tangy and balanced finish.

Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Lechet 2009 Tasting Note
As is typically the case, the wood is a bit more obvious here than in the regular cuvée though it does stop short of dominating the slightly riper nose of citrus blossom and lemon peel. The bigger and richer medium plus weight flavors ooze dry extract but not to the point that the focus and detail are lost. In sum, this isn't as racy as the regular cuvée, but it's more powerful and remains well balanced. This is also very, very good.
