La Chablisienne Chablis 1er cru Côte de Léchet 2020 1.5L

94 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "La Chablisienne has parcels scattered all across the Côte de Léchet, so this is a "true" Côte de Lechet – which has 51 hectares under its name – as it were. Head Oenologist Vincent Bartement says this wine is usually very consistent because of this. The 2020 expression has excellent tension with aromas of grapefruit, white peach peel and shellfish leading to a chalky finish. 2022-28. (2022)"

93 points Wine & Spirits: "[$70/750ml list] A fresh Chablis with a purity and precision to its apple flavors, enriched by salty mineral funk underneath. The clean apple blossom scent is delicate, ringing out with the clarity of a bell. A happy wine, bright and ample, tense and yielding. (Feb 2023)"

92 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$70/750ml list] A fresh white, evoking peach, yellow plum and citrus flavors, with an underlying flinty element. Round and supple, with a saline finish. Shows excellent balance and length. Drink now through 2028. 253 cases imported. (9/30/23)"

92 points La Revue du Vin de France: "In premier cru, Côte de Léchet 2020 delivers both mineral and vegetal dimensions, with a fine reduction. The palate is straightforward, with a lovely burst of fruit. (2024)"

90-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Ripe and fresh aromas are mostly comprised by notes of citrus confit with background wisps of quinine and sea breeze. The slightly richer medium-bodied flavors possess equally good energy and intensity before culminating in a bitter lemon rind inflected finish. Solid quality here in a package that should reward 4 to 6 years of cellaring. Drink: 2025+. (Oct 2021)"

91 points James Suckling: "Fresh green apples, jasmine, lemons and crushed stones on the nose. Nice restraint and minerality, with a medium body and stony, steely finish. Drink now. (6/8/23)"

90 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru has a tightly-wound bouquet with Granny Smith apples, wet pavement, and oyster shell scents. Quite focused and delineated. Well balanced with nice acidity, the palate is taut and fresh with a very subtle mintiness towards the finish. Plenty of character here, if not so much sophistication compared to others. Drink: 2023-2033. (Sep 2022)"
