Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre, Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin

Note:

(from bottles purchased in Burgundy). A beautiful and nicely complex nose carries plenty of classic Chablis character that includes mineral reduction, maturing yet still fresh white orchard fruit and hints of oyster shell and iodine. There is equally good intensity and precision to the rich and stony medium-bodied flavors that offer very fine length on the saline-inflected finale. For my taste this has arrived at its peak though it should hold well for at least another decade. Lovely juice. Tasted twice with fairly consistent notes as one of bottles was noticeably more reduced though still excellent.
