2020, La Chablisienne, CHABLIS, 1er Cru, 'L'Homme Mort'
$78
The 2020 Chablis L'Homme Mort 1er Cru is the most reductive on the nose amongst La Chablisienne's Premier Crus, though it opens with just 5-10 minutes in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a lightly spiced entry, modest depth, a fine edgy acidity that lends frisson towards the finish with quite a persistent, peppery aftertaste. Meliorates with aeration. Give it a year in bottle. 90+ Neal Martin, Vinous (2022).
