Ripe but balanced. Mineral and floral. A perfect Chablis Villages. Perhaps the best young Barat Chablis A.C. I have tasted. From the lieu-dit les Champlains. ** ...
Aromatically closed but beautiful minerality and persistence with a complex texture and fine length. **(*) ...
A touch reductive and more masculine [than the Cote de Lechet] with perfect balance and a waxy finish. **(*) ...
Good grip with hints of clay and minerals. Very long. Young, but already delicious. **(*) ...
More reserved [than the Villages] with a more pronounced mineral quality. Strong, vibrant palate and finish. **(*) ...
Aromatically tight with hints of orange fruits. Tangerine laced mineral palate with good acidity and light body. (part of Vau de Vey mini-vertical arranged by S. Pommier) ** ...
Aromas of fraises des boix and nuts. A little toasty (though no oak) with very nice balance good length and a spicy, caramel-covered apple finish. (part of Vau de Vey mini-vertical organized by S. Pommier) **(*) ...
Wild cherries and almonds on the nose with great attack and persistency. Tight, but expansive with great potential. (part of Vau de Vey mini-vertical arranged by S. Pommier) ***(*) ...
Initially reductive nose eveolves to reveal subtly sweet fruits, forest aromas and nuts. Loads of stones and minerals. Deep and long. — AU, 2004-11-01 ***(*) ...
