Nice but a little dilute from the first Chablis domaine to go screw cap for the entire production, including Grand Cru.

Oily viscous good mineral tea finishes with lemon like acidity did not expect it to be so well balanced and long per the wine advocate and the producer:
 Volume 115, The Wine Advocate
The Chablis Blanchots (2,000 case production from 4.6 hectares - 40 hectoliters per hectare) is 100% barrel fermented, 20% of which are new. It exhibits spicy oak, minerals and smoky hickory aromas and an oily, thick, luscious, extremely ripe yet highly-focused personality packed with citrus and oak flavors. This wine is so concentrated and ripe that, with bottle age, the wood flavors will be absorbed by the fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2006. Michel Laroche, the dapper director of this large Chablis producer, stated he had not witnessed a vintage comparable to 1996 in the thirty years he has been crafting wines. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Seems they were somewhat conservative in their estimate of longevity😆
