100% Chardonnay Vine Age 55 years
"Grown on 55+ year old vines this Chablis is very flattering, with a strikingly expressive nose. Creamy, round & with a full mouthfeel, this is well-structured, with a classic underlying minerality, that could only have been produced in Chablis. Made by the youngest 'rising star' of the Dampt wine-making family, this wine pairs particularly well with roasted lobster and chicken breast!" — Wine Direct Tasting Team
"Delightful pale lemon and lime. Some elegance to the nose. Not very extrovert at this stage. More length and less mineral is Vincent’s view of Léchet, in contrast to Vaillons. Good body, white fruit wanting to emerge but there is still a limey framework." — Jasper Morris MW
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
