A closed, structured wine, revealing the steely side of Chablis rather than the richness of 2009. It has intense citrus fruit flavors, the acidity an important element along with the wood. However, it is the minerality that dominates, resulting in a taut, textured wine that needs five years aging.

This wine has the richness of 2009, while still is mineral, taut and textured. The yellow fruits are balanced by intense acidity and a ripe, full-bodied feel. The wine is complex, needing aging; the aftertaste intense, crisp and fruity.

Initially a very soft wine, it slowly shows its ripe fruits, intense texture and blend of buttery toast and acidity. Yellow fruits dominate, bursting through the acidity to give a ripe, opulent finish. Age for 3–4 years.

Fragrant and generous, this ripe wine shows its fruitiness as easily as it reveals its structure. Its ripe, full-bodied character remains tightly textured, which makes it an age-worthy selection.

Aged for 30 months in wood, this Chablis has a distinctively ripe and rich character that puts it closer to Meursault in style. Only on the finish, through all of the toast and fruit flavors, does the steely acidity emerge.

Intense acidity and a mineral texture show the northern origins of this wine. It is all citrus and grapefruit, the green apple flavors adding a tense texture.
