FOR THE 2016 VINTAGE
The 2016 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru is more expressive than the Butteaux at the moment with light tropical fruit (dried mango and pineapple) a touch of spice coming through with time. The palate is well balanced with a smooth entry, slightly viscous in texture with a vein of dried honey, but showing a little more tension on the finish compared to the Butteaux at the moment.
