nicely layered fruit

Here too there is a hint of warmth but in this case it is much less intrusive if not invisible

This should be an especially cellar worthy 2015

Here there is enough reduction to overshadow the underlying fruit so if you are tempted to try a bottle young in the interest of curiosity

(50% of the blend is from Aloxe-Corton and the remainder is from Pernand-Vergelesses aged in 40% new oak

Jean-Paul Droin, Chablis Grenouilles Vintage:2023 nicely layered fruit(from a . 50 ha parcel of 55+ year old vines aged in 60% wood). Here too there is a discreet touch of wood setting off the ripe yet cool nose of green fruit, pear, apple and algae scents. There is once again excellent volume and richness to the intense medium weight plus flavors that terminate in a zesty, even tangy finale where the wood telegraphed by the nose reappears. Good stuff that offers focused power and a sleek mouth feel. 93 2023+
