Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin Chablis 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Burgundy
R595
‘Droin owns 10ha of AP Chablis. Much more interest here with a deeper hue in the glass and much more interest on the nose. Some greengage on the palate, together with a hint of pear and white peach. Pretty much a benchmark example of what village Chablis should be. Concentration and a lengthy mineral character to finish. 2023-2027’ – Andy Howard MW, Decanter, 92/100
‘This is aromatically similar to the Petit Chablis though with more citrus elements in evidence. There is again good richness to the succulent and rounded medium-weight flavors that also exude a refreshing salinity on the clean, moderately dry and sneaky long finish that is slightly firmer. 2026+’ – Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 88-91/100
‘The 2021 Chablis Village has a fresh nose with Granny Smith apples and a touch of fresh pear. With good balance and acidity, the palate is quite saline in the mouth with veins of orchard fruit, hints of wild peach and citrus peel, delicate and refined on the finish. 2023-2032’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 88-90/100
