Tasting notes
Pale yellow. Cool menthol minerality dominates aromas of chalk, wet stone, lemon zest and resiny herbs. Seriously rich, dry, suave wine with cool stony minerality, a note of lemon and the pliancy of the year. The very long, savory aftertaste calls for time. Boasts lovely grain and density for village wine.

The 2015 Chablis Bas de Chapelot was bottled the end of April. It has a well-defined, quite chalky bouquet with touches of lemon curd and lemon thyme. The palate is well balanced with a soft opening and slightly lower acidity than the 2014s, as you would expect, but with a poised and generous, creamy-textured finish. There is something classy about this Chablis, although I would like to see a little more complexity manifest in bottle.
Restrained, classic dusty/citrus aroma of Chablis with that aroma reflected in attractive chalky texture. Moderate intensity, fine balance and good length. Good intensity for a Chablis, albeit from a named site, and excellent length. Has both purity and finesse. QGV (JH)
