Wine Critics Notes:

Allen Meadows - Score: 93 (2015 November)

A still reserved nose offers up notes of mostly white flowers, citrus and pear with background notes of mineral reduction and algae. There is good punch and moderately good verve to the round, delicious and solidly complex flavors that possess fine depth and excellent length on the caressing and balanced finish. This is not a classically styled Blanchots but rather one that is graceful and harmonious so if you're looking for something that screams "CHABLIS", this isn't it. On the plus side though, it is a lovely effort that could already be approached with pleasure though I would be inclined to hold it for a few more years first. Tasted twice in November 2015 with consistent notes.
