2022 Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis

Ready for bottling. A delightful bright lemon and lime colour. Floral and lightly stony, a pleasing mini reduction. There is a surge of bright fruit, yellow plums, which suggests that this may put on a more evidently ripe character later on. Drink from 2024-2027. 88-89 points

The 2022 Chablis Village has a crisp, focused bouquet with hints of pressed white flowers and wet stone. The elegant palate has flecks of white peach and apricot, balanced and lovely with a charming, precise finish. This is very capable and should age well in bottle. 89-91 points
