Wine Advocate
Opening in the glass with notions of citrus oil, yellow orchard fruit, beeswax and fresh pastry, the 2018 Chablis Vieilles Vignes Sélection Massale is medium to full-bodied, satiny and structured, with fine depth at the core, chalky extract and a saline finish. If this is generally an open, demonstrative vintage for the region—especially at this level—this is one bottling with the substance to age with grace.
