Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2023 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru has a clean, precise, very focused nose with a seductive marine aroma. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. It's slightly reductive in style, with good weight and a powerful finish. Give this a couple of years just to shake off that reduction because I like its nascent energy. Tasted blind at the BIVB offices in Chablis.
