Allen Meadows - Score: 92 (2015 July)

A background note of pain grillé frames a notably ripe and still attractively fresh nose that displays notes of white orchard fruit that is cut with floral and discreet oyster shell nuances. The generously proportioned and ullterly delicious medium-bodied flavors possess fine complexity and punch on the mouth coating, mineral-driven and impressively long citrus-infused finish. Like most '05 Chablis this is not a laser beam of Chablis character yet for those who enjoy richer and full-bodied examples of Blanchots, this certainly qualifies. Note that for my taste this has just arrived on the front edge of its peak drinkability though it will easily hold for years to come.
