Ironically, this bottle showed much more of an intense and muscular posture on the immediate pull of the cork. This tasted like a phat pull of a barrel sample, with what seemed like decent dollops of…
A nice hybrid between the 2017 and 2018 vintages, this 2019 Sechets weds the viscous weight and expansive lemony succulence of 2018 with the push of energy of the 2017. There is notable persistence…
Yellow citrus, lemon curd, lime rind, cream, honey, and marshmallow make for a more wood-influenced production at this stage. Though quite tasty and decently powered, the display of the purity of…
Round and inviting, with a small push of added volume when compared to the bottle of this I had last year. A little less spunk and intensity, this will be a wine for nearer term consumption.…
Starting out muted and simple upon first opening, this Vaillons takes a bit of air and swirling to coax out what depth it's willing to show. Once it budges, deeper honeyed yellow citrus, almond skin,…
Lemon juice, chalk, wet white travertine, and lemon pith are pleasantly zingy but also primary and linear. Here there is enough 1er Cru intensity to keep the breadth of delivery at requisite levels,…
Deeply pitched and showing a slightly more advanced flavor profile than expected, the Sechet displays notably balanced and medium intensity grilled lemon, clementine, olive oil, and river rock notes.…
Continuing to drink great. A little hint of the exotic/tropical adds interest and depth. In a perfect place right now. Serve a little warmer than refrigerator temperature but cooler than cellar…
A perfect Monday evening sipper, with fresh and salivating yellow citrus and white melon rind notes that hop around the palate, finishing with a soft limestone flavor that adds interest. There's…
Similar to last year. The 2017 has more punch and tension next to this 2018 - not surprising given the comparative vintage characteristics. This still has enough speed, freshness, and grip to keep…
A gorgeous and punchy Chablis, with notable gravitas that extols its 1er cru class with confident depth and sophistication. The weight here is perfectly balanced with the lemon juice and Squirt…
Bright and fresh lemon juice, citrus spray, and wet limestone notes present in a clean and semi-succulent delivery (succulent by Louis Michel standards). Compared to the wound tight and somewhat…
From the same stable as the Domaine Pinson harem, this version is bright and clean, with a pure delivery of yellow citrus and white melon rind flavors that are accessible and friendly. Energy and…
Enjoyable, agreeable, and all that friendly handshaking kind of stuff. It's yellow, it's lemony, it's what you would expect from a base model Chardonnay. I did not find it as particularly interesting…
Starts out with lemon drop and lemon square succulence, but quickly becomes noticeably angular on the finish. After extended aeration, a gummy saccharine texture coats the palate. There is goodness…
Yellow, white, and green citrus notes, with a spunky entry of lemon-lime zest, wet white rock, unripe white peach, seafoam, and hints of vanillin oak. Worthy of its 1er cru designation, with medium…
Lemony goodness that is barely nipping at the heels of 1er Cru quality. It's clean and fresh as expected but has some character to find - if it can. I'm happy with the bit of zip it offers on the…
A striking improvement from the bottle I had a year-and-a-half ago. Still quite the linear execution, with a nail gun delivery that is pithy and acidic. However, the green apple skin, crunchy unripe…
Lemon and lime juice, clementine, and limestone notes are invigorated by a beautiful acidity that pushes the flavors to a heightened speed. Finishes with notable tension. A very fine example of a 1er…
Beautiful and bright lemon juice and ocean spray on the nose. Lemon juice, lime pith, chalk, and some salt on the palate. Medium intensity with an agreeable flavor delivery and expansion. Purity of…
Lemony and medium-spritely on the palate, with a nicely place sour pucker to add elevated interest to the otherwise medium delivery of yellow and green citrus flavors. Finishes with a touch of verve…
