The 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot is showing brilliantly, delivering a complex bouquet of honeysuckle, smoke, mandarin and wheat toast. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and satiny-textured, with striking concentration, lively acids and a pure, precise finish. From the domaine's oldest parcel—planted in 1936—this is a powerful, ineffably complete Blanchot that will be well worth following for three decades.
A plot right at the top of the hill with plenty of morning sun. Wet stony aromas with waxy grapefruit pith and savory almond notes. The palate has a very succulent, fleshy and juicy core. Lithe and strong. There’s immense power here. A wine for longer aging. Try from 2022.
