A real step up from the straight Chablis in both intensity of flavour and ageing potential. Class in a glass. Gorgeous ripe pineapple, nectarine and yellow plum meld into a lemon rind palate that's mouthcoating and gives a great sense of fullness. Plumpness and roundness is balanced nicely by mineral tones and a pithy finish. Stock up on this because you should be rewarded with more complexity after five to eight years in bottle.
