Note di degustazione
The 2016 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux Vieilles Vignes had only been bottled two weeks before I tasted it, but even in its reserved state it was showing very well, offering up aromas of green apple, white flowers, nutty reduction and iodine. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with good tension and structure. This is one 2016 that will have some upside potential.

(these vines are now 63 years old but produced an "almost classic" yield of 35 hectoliters per hectare, according to Gicqueau-Michel): Full medium yellow. Intriguing smoky minerality complements yellow peach on the nose. A fat, sweet premier cru with a rather refined texture and noteworthy chewy depth. Distinctly smoother and longer than the first Butteaux, this wine should offer relatively early appeal.
