$29.57The Story
This wine is fermented in wooden barrels like all our Grands Crus from the Côte d'Or area and then aged in barrels during 15-18 months before bottling (about 30% new oak).
Bright color with a hint of pale gold. This wine, which is made from grapes grown on slopes with an eastern orientation, has plenty of weight and rich texture on the palate. The aromas are what you would expect from grapes picked at optimal ripeness, while the palate shows great balance.
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast
This dense, wood-aged wine is packed with ripe yellow fruits. The full, rich nature of the wine shows the full-blown intensity of the great exposure of this grand cru vineyard. The wine's instant fruitiness belies its aging potential. Resist drinking now and wait until 2023.
90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot is decisively marked by the vintage, offering up an exotic bouquet of honeyed peaches, apricot and citrus blossom. The wine is full-bodied, rich and unctuous, with broad shoulders and a generous attack, but balanced by incisive acids that lend the wine a structural tension that belies its musky, super-concentrated profile.
