Tasting note

The 2019 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru requires some coaxing from the glass, eventually revealing light flint and pressed flower scents; a touch of chai tea emerges with further aeration. The palate is edgy and citric on the entry. This conveys satisfying tension and energy, though it is let down by a slight lack of complexity and mineralité on the finish. It deserves a round of applause... but could have been even better.

Score: 90
