2013 Jean-Paul Droin Chablis Montmains

Slightly hazy yellow-green. Musky, ripe aromas of orange and lemon zest, mint and hazelnut. Silky and broad, with a distinctly Cote de Beaune-like fullness to its white peach flavor. Richer and more exotic than the Vaillons but doesn`t have that wine`s cut. Finishes a bit edgy but with very good length. 89-90 points

This is also strikingly floral with additional breadth present in the form of lemon peel and mineral reduction hints. There is fine richness to the very round and seductively textured medium weight flavors that possess a refreshing if only moderately complex and persistent finale. This forward effort is certainly pretty but not really distinguished, at least not today. 88-91 points
