Der Jahrgang 2019 war trockener, heißer und sonniger als eine typische Chablis-Wachstumsperiode, mit einem kalten Start, gefolgt von zwei Hitzewellen im Sommer. Der Ertrag war geringer als im Rekordjahr 2018, was sich in der Konzentration des Weins widerspiegelt. Dennoch behält dieser Wein eine ausgeprägte Mineralität bei, anstatt sich in breite Aromen zu entfalten.
Wie für diese Weine charakteristisch, wirkt er in seiner Jugend noch fest. Lassen Sie ihn atmen oder über Jahre hinweg reifen. Er wird bis 2034 seinen Höhepunkt erreichen.

Introducing the 2019 Chablis are aromas of beeswax, dried white flowers and oyster shell dominating youthfully discreet notions of citrus oil and fresh bread in an already complex bouquet. A medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping wine, this is fleshier and more textural than its Petit Chablis counterpart—though it's just as chiseled—concluding with a long, saline finish.

The 2019 Chablis Village has an intriguing nutty and slightly smoky bouquet. The palate is lively on the entry, with a superb line of acidity, and quite saline in the mouth, leading to a brisk, energetic finish. Excellent.

Here too there is very fine typicity with its ripe but cool nose of white peach, pear, iodine and pretty floral nuances that also include a whiff of citrus confit. There is equally fine volume to the rich yet well-detailed flavors that flash a lovely mineral streak on the refreshingly dry finale. Good stuff in a robust and powerful style that should repay mid-term aging.
Jasper Morris (90)
Much of this comes from the reverse slope of La Forêt. Pale green with a fresher nose than the Petit Chablis. Huge energy at the front of the palate, then, some almond paste aromatics followed by a slight suggestion of the warmth of the vintage at the finish. Generous in style this year, but still enough of the crystalline character to pass muster.
