Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2020 Chablis wafts from the glass with scents of peach, white flowers, crisp orchard fruit and pastry. Medium to full-bodied, bright and incisive, with a fleshy core of fruit and a nicely defined finish, it's testament to the progress being made at this address.
