2017 Chablis

The 2017 Chablis Villages is performing well from bottle, revealing pretty aromas of citrus fruit, white flowers and peaches. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and vibrant, with good flesh at the core and a precise finish.

The 2017 Chablis, due to be bottled in September, has a tightly wound, slightly chalky bouquet with hints of musk developing in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a satisfying sense of volume and precision, touches of orange zest, dried apricot and ginger with an elegant and refined finish. There is a nascent sense of panache here that you might not expect for a mere Village Cru. The key will be to capture that in bottle.

Very taut with plenty of peaches and light green mangoes. Very fresh and fine. The palate has a lithe and juicy edge. White peaches and lime citrus with a very smooth, fleshy and nicely balanced palate. There’s a lot of fruitiness and acid power here. Excellent AC Chablis. Drink or hold.
