The 2021 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru has a touch of reduction on the nose, but I find this composed with satisfying delineation and sapidity—hints of apple blossom emerging with time in the glass. The palate is well balanced with an oily texture, perhaps a bit more solids in this Chablis that lend complexity. It does not quite deliver the mineralité and nervosité on the finish, however.

Vinous (90+)
(bottled in January of this year; began in 20% new oak and 80% _cuve, then was assembled in old barrels after the malolactic fermentation): Medium yellow. Strong vanillin oak on the nose. Ripe, plush and dry, with the stone fruit flavors currently dominated by oak spice and caramel. Still a bit youthfully austere but fresher than the Cuvée Authentique. Will it absorb the vanillin oak?Inc. GSTSG$1,311.23 -
Vinous (93+)
(bottled in January of 2016; all of the premier crus were bottled just before the 2015 harvest): Bright yellow. Yeasty baked bread and rocky calcaire dominate the nose. Dense, full and energetic; fat and silky for the vintage but classically dry and stony. Subtle notes of pineapple and flowers add complexity. Best today on the subtle, slowly mounting back end, which spreads out to saturate the palate with liquid stone. Not yet especially demonstrative but, with its penetrating stony minerality, this wine is built for a long life in bottle.Inc. GSTSG$172.85
