La Chablisienne Chablis Les Vénérables Vieilles Vignes 2021

88-91 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from 50+ year old vines that see 18 months of élevage). A ripe but overtly fresh nose combines notes of mineral reduction, pear, apple, citrus and iodine. There is excellent richness and concentration to the palate coating medium-bodied flavors that culminate in an attractively lingering finish that isn't quite as dry but is better-balanced. This wine consistently ages well, and the 2021 version should be no exception. Drink: 2026+. (Oct 2022)"

Producer notes: "Pale gold color, limpid and brilliant with golden reflections. The first nose is discreet, fruity with fresh citrus notes (bergamot, lemon). Slight notes of brioche and butter appear after aeration. The attack on the palate is full of energy, fruity, tangy with aromas of exotic fruits (pineapple). The structure is present with a nice sweetness making the whole round and ample. The finish is saline and brings a nice length. Food and wine pairings: It will go perfectly with a Comté soufflé, pan-fried porcini mushrooms or even a filet mignon in a crust."
