Adrien Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet 2023

Dmitri Volkov — Easily the best bottle I've opened this month

9/10

Saw this on a list at a restaurant, looked it up and ordered a bottle online. So glad I did. The finish just goes on and on — citrus and mineral notes that linger without being heavy. Already ordered another couple of bottles to have on hand.

Rosa Paredes — Proper grown-up wine

8/10

The guy at my local wine shop recommended this and he wasn't wrong. It's got this lovely stony, flinty thing going on with lemon and peach underneath. Not a wine you just knock back — you actually want to sit with it and pay attention. Really well made.

Luciano Bianchi — Nice but needs time maybe?

7/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and thought it was good but felt like it was holding back a bit. The acidity is quite firm and the fruit hasn't really opened up yet. Might be one to stick in the cupboard for a year or two? Decent wine though, just not sure it's ready.
