Tasting notes
The 2018 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet with scents of dried honey and orchard fruit, perhaps missing a little mineralité . The palate is a bit odd, very waxy in texture, maybe too much extract and lacking freshness on the finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

The 2018 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru sees 12 months in stainless steel. It has a straightforward crushed pebble and slightly smoky nose, though it lacks a bit of personality compared to others. The palate is well balanced with a honeyed opening and moderate acidity. Missing some tension toward the fairly rich finish. Enjoyable but not the most memorable Chablis you will ever drink.
Riper and more citrusy than the Lys. More creamy on the palate too. Deeper, broader but about the same level of intensity as the Lys. Quite different. Lovely creamy finish. I am not sure it is for the long term. (JH)
