1981 Chablis

This tightly wound, nutty, and spiced apple-flavoured Meursault wine offers hints of white flowers and peaches. It is lush, soft and appealing. Drink it over the next 4 years. The quality shows in the persistent finish.

Arnaud’s Clos des Ambres is fine, pure and fresh on the nose, developing a little butteriness after a few moments in line with a typical Meursault. Yields were especially low after spring hail, and this consequently has exceptional weight on the palate. Fabulous.

The pickers were sent into this vineyard on six separate occasions in order to pick the bunches at optimum ripeness and this extra work has clearly paid off. With a rich and seductive nose, Drouhin's Le Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Grand Cru wine is incredibly complex on the palate, needing more time to come together of course, but nonetheless displaying an immense volume of fruit, with nicely judged mineral acidity and a truly stunning aftertaste.
