Note di degustazione
The 2015 Chablis Beauroy 1er Cru is musty and rather muddled on the nose, starting off slightly oxidative and deteriorating in the glass. The palate is ripe and slightly viscous in texture, lacking the tension you expect from a Premier Cru and finishing with an unappealing sweet toffee apple note. I personally think this is just an off bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

(42 hectoliters per hectare produced): Very closed on the nose, hinting at lemon, menthol and liquid stone. Tighter and even more austere than the '16 Beauroy owing to the recent bottling but very pure and sharply chiseled, conveying a tactile, chewy quality to its flavors of underripe pineapple, grapefruit zest and crushed stone. This uncompromising wine is most impressive today on its whiplash of a finish. Lay this one down.
The 2015 Chablis 1Er Cru Beauroy has a very refined bouquet already in situ, very focused and assured with good mineralité. The palate is clean and fresh with crisp acidity, quite tensile and steely, which is an achievement in what is a rich vintage; it has abundant mineralité and tension conveyed on the sustained finish. This is worth checking out--a compelling Chablis that is only going to improve with bottle age.
The nose displays strong crushed-stone minerality for 2015, along with hints of menthol and slightly rustic oak. Sappy and penetrating in the mouth, with a slightly bitter quality to the flavors of lemon zest, fresh herbs and liquid stone. Finishes with good lift but this bottling will almost certainly require a few years of aging upon release.
