Nicolas Potel Petit Chablis 2022

‘Petit’ may indicate its junior status to Chablis – Petit Chablis is grown on the less prestigious Chardonnay vineyards compared to Chablis – but don’t let this fool you. Petit Chablis can be an exciting wine in its own right. Hails from a warm vintage but it’s reasonably tightly formed, super dry and quite delicate, so, the message here is, don’t over chill. Inviting lemon rind, crisp apple aromas with white pear and flinty, oyster shell. Gets a little wild on the palate, introducing an attractive savoury edginess which fits in easily with the citrus, apple, stony minerality, dill and splash of wild honey. Good textural appeal, too, depth and length.
