Tank sample. Explosive classic Chablis nose, almost all mineral and brine, with seashell, Kimmeridgian limestone, wet stone, and only faint hints of lemon and lime underneath. Almost no fruit in the obvious sense. This is a mineral blizzard, wildly expressive and completely old-school, like 1950s-style Chablis wired to a power station.
The palate is stunningly concentrated, with serious acidity, but also real body, density, and richness. It has the electricity and structure of a great acid vintage, but the flesh and substance to carry it. Briny, stony, deep, and intensely architectural, with waves of seashell minerality rushing through the finish. The acidity clamps down at the end and brings everything into sharp, thrilling focus. Very young, obviously, but already gorgeous in its purity and intensity. A serious 25-year Côte de Léchet in the making.
