Domaine Jean Dauvissat Pere et Fils Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet 2016

The Côte de Léchet faces South-East and dominates the village of Milly. The 38 degree slop is in full sunlight, its very poor and stony soil helps to keep yields low, and makes mineral wines.

"From a very steep, rocky slope facing southeast: Pale lemon-yellow. Ineffable aromas of crushed stone and white flowers, with citrus hints in the background. Smooth lemon drop and mineral flavors convey a captivating sweetness, but strong savory minerality energizes the middle palate. Delivers a felicitous combination of roundness, silkiness, textural richness and inner-mouth tension. Accessible now owing to its sweetness of fruit, but this beauty should enjoys a classic evolution in bottle (I can see it going white- truffley with bottle age). Finishes with building length. A very sexy premier cru." - Steven Tanzer
