More voluminous and oak-driven than I remember. But it's still delicate and quite a textbook entry-level Chablis. It attracts you with good fruit and butter notes but shows what good Chablis can offer - shells, lemon, and white flowers. Well-balanced, good structure with a long and flavourful aftertaste. Delicious.
About
Domaine Pinson Chablis 2020 comes from two parcels in the heart of Chablis: one half from just below 1er Cru Mont de Milieu and another half from between 1er Cru Vaillons and 1er Cru Montmain. We are talking about 40+ years old Chardonnay vines growing on classic Kimmeridgian soil. Hand-harvested grapes. The wine spontaneously ferments and ages in stainless steel. I've heard some people talking about minimal oak influence, but I could not find a trustworthy source to state this.
