2020 Chablis, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

2020 Chablis, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

Benoît’s village Chablis is one of the best (the best?) out there. The 2020 is packed with fruit, and has an energy and persistence that propels it across the palate. Nice chalky freshness, with zingy lift and poised citrus fruit. Outstanding value.

Tasting notes

Cooler aromas include those of mineral reduction, iodine and freshly sliced apple and lemon. The sleek, vibrant and delicious middle weight flavors exude a lovely salinity on the clean and moderately dry finale. This too is sufficiently forward to enjoy young or it could be held for a few years first.
