Note di degustazione
The 2016 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru well surpassed my expectations gleaned from barrel. It is blessed with a “stonking” bouquet – it just storms out of the glass with chalk dust, lemon curd and light mineral scents. The palate is fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, hints of sour lemon and superb delineation on the lightly spiced finish. Readers should note that this took a couple of hours to open but when it did, this might well be my pick from Laurent Tribut this year.

Tangy, classic scents of lemon zest and powdered stone. A bit more pliant than the village wine but still with lovely purity and finesse to its citrus and mineral flavors. Classy, classic Chablis with a fine-grained texture.
The 2016 Chablis 1Er Cru Cote de Lechet has a clean and pure bouquet with quite a strong oyster shell influence that I hope will be in situ once in bottle. The palate is crisp and taut and this is quite a linear Côte de Lechét with a brisk, saline finish that leaves the mouth tingling after the wine has departed. I like the energy here—this is one to watch out for once in bottle.
