Esbrown posted a review: The 2005 Petite Chablis was a rich and round example of the grape, with just enough minerality to keep it from feeling too modern.

Petit Verdot? What were they thinking...

Color: Darker violet Nose: Dark berry fruit that retains its brightness on nose, but with some depth. Palate: Blackberry and some black cherry with more of that brightness and then tannin that has good character but still some smooth roundness.

This is generous, tasting of apple and peach, with an underlying citrus acidity. Nicely balanced. Comes together on the finish. Drink now through 2010. 15,000 cases made.

Mineral, perfect acidity balance, absolutely no wood taste: pure.
