Current condition

Primary fruit and high acidity dominate, needs time to integrate

The high acidity and classic Chablis minerality provide strong aging potential. Good vintage quality means the wine will evolve with subtle tertiary notes developing after 3-5 years in bottle, reaching peak complexity in about 5-9 years.
