2014 Jean-Paul Droin Chablis

Pale yellow-green. Aromatic scents of lemon, lime, flowers, mint and minerals. Sweet and rich but with a biting citrussy character that reminded me of a 2010. Some unabsorbed CO2 contributes energy to this pineappley wine. Finishes with lovely breadth and length. A serious villlage wine in the making. 88-91 points

There is even more typical Chablis character to the cool and restrained nose that is compositionally similar but with even more citrus elements. Here too there is very good volume to the textured and dense middle weight flavors that deliver plenty of minerality and salinity on the lingering finish. This should make for a fine villages. 88-91 points
