Note di degustazione
The 2017 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru is a dense, powerful wine that reflects the natural concentration of yields that were just 13 hectoliters per hectare as opposed to the more typical 50 or so. Lemon confit, white flower and orchard fruit notes are packed into an explosive Chablis that will only truly blossom with quite a bit of time in the cellar. The 2017 is so deep, so vivid and so striking. I can't imagine opening a bottle before its tenth birthday.

The 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot is showing brilliantly, delivering a complex bouquet of honeysuckle, smoke, mandarin and wheat toast. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and satiny-textured, with striking concentration, lively acids and a pure, precise finish. From the domaine's oldest parcel—planted in 1936—this is a powerful, ineffably complete Blanchot that will be well worth following for three decades.
The 2017 Chablis Blanchots Grand Cru is already very compelling on the nose: mineral, smoke, melted beeswax and pressed flowers all vying for attention. The palate is beautifully balanced with a lightly spiced entry, crisp and taut from the start with a touch of nutmeg, walnut and orange rind towards the persistent finish. This is showing beautifully – a regal, blue-blooded yet quite intellectual Chablis.
