Michel Barat 1990 Chablis Premier Cru Cote de Lechet

Minerals and notes of baked bread with a touch of alcohol sticking out. More reserved palate, well-balanced, finished maybe just a touch hot. **

Denis Pommier 2003 Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet

Very nutty, honeyed nose. Well-integrated oak leads to a coconut-laden, spicy palate with pretty fruit. **(*)

Good grip with hints of clay and minerals. Very long. Young, but already delicious. **(*)

Michel Barat 1997 Chablis Premier Cru Cote de Lechet

Alan Uchrinscko — Sun, 02 Jun 2002 05:46:05 +0000

Fresher [than the '98] and very complex with a hint of earth. Mineral and spicy palate. **

Michel Barat 1998 Chablis Premier Cru Cote de Lechet

Alan Uchrinscko — Sun, 02 Jun 2002 05:02:03 +0000

Honey, nuts and a touch of cream and spice. A complex, well-balanced wine that is a fine example. ***

Herve Azo 1993 Chablis Premier Cru Cote de Lechet

Alan Uchrinscko — Sun, 02 Jun 2002 04:36:34 +0000

Nose a bit stinky and initially a little alcoholic. Balanced palate, but very reductive. ?

Herve Azo 2000 Chablis Premier Cru Cote De Lechet

A simply wonderful example. Baking spices and lemons on the nose. Very ripe and very sweet; good acidity and density with perfect balance. Long life ahead.
