There's a hint of barrel but what a fine nose - tons of floral perfume and very open - lovely! Fuller, rounder but no less structure and clarity. Not quite the fluidity of the last wine but there's more of everything else here - the barrel is present in the finish too. Wait 5-6 years before dipping your toe into the water but this is a lovely Grand Cru.
- Chablis Grand Cru "Blanchot" 2020 - Wine Spectator Buying Guide - February 2023 - 92/100
Round and bursting with peach, melon and yellow apple flavours, with a touch of vanilla and stone underlying it all. Shows excellent balance, with a juicy finish. Drink now through 2027.
- Chablis Grand Cru "Blanchot" 2018 - James Suckling - 95 points
Subtle aromas of apricot, lemon curd and green apple. Chamomile tea with a touch of honey. It's medium-bodied and textured with bright acidity. Sleek and refined. Drink or hold.
- Chablis Grand Cru "Blanchot" 2017 - Burghound.com - USA - October 2019 - 91/100There is a touch of mineral reduction to the elegant, pure and airy white orchard fruit, citrus and soft quinine nuances. There is a succulent and rounded mouth feel to the attractively vibrant middle weight flavors that exude an evident stoniness on the salty and lemon rind-inflected finish. I like the delivery and this is just dry enough to engender a hint of youthful austerity. 91/2023+
- Chablis Grand Cru "Blanchot" 2017 - James Suckling - February 2019 - 95/100Some very attractive exotic fruit here with mango, papaya and melon, as well as peaches and more. A riot of fresh fruit and some gentle reductive funk that works well. The palate has a powerful core with exceptional depth and seamless, fleshy drive. There's a lot to like here. Drink or hold.
- Chablis Grand Cru "Blanchot" 2016 - Burghound.com - October 2018 - 91/100
Restrained and cool nose. Aromas of pear with the addition of a distinct floral component. On the palate, there is excellent underlying tension to the almost pungently mineral-driven middle weight flavors that culminate in a linear, compact and bone dry finale.
- Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot 2016 |90-100 - The World of Fine Wine - March 2018Rich and opulent, saline and expressive, very mineral. Underneath this apparently open exterior is plenty of tight depth. - Margaret Rand.
- Chablis Grand Cru "Blanchot" 2016 - James Suckling - February 2018 - 94/100A lot of summer-meadow and some oyster-shell aromas here. A sophisticated Chablis with a lot of underplayed power. A long elegant, supple and almost silky finish. Drink or hold.
- Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot 2014 - 89/100 - Wine Spectator - May 2017
This boasts ample richness but shows good cut defining the apple, lemon and stone flavors. The aftertaste resonates with the tangy acidity. Drink now through 2022.
