The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot actually has a difficult time following the Butteaux and as I opined when I tasted them from barrel, it feels a bit mean and reticent at the moment. Perhaps it is holding something back for later. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, linear and taut in style but I want this to give me something more on the finish. Let’s see how this evolves because at the moment there are a couple of storming premier crus that show more promise.

Mild if not invisible wood influence frames the restrained, fresh and admirably pure white flower, wet stone and whisper of sea breeze-inflected aromas. There is fine richness to the refined and beautifully detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent intensity and length on the citrus-suffused finish where a touch of lemon rind appears. The acid spine is clearly firmer here than with any of the preceding 1ers and this should reward at least a decade of aging and perhaps even a bit more yet be approachable after only 4 to 5 if that's your preference.
