Brocard 2021 Chablis "Butteaux" 1er Cru 750ml

Aromatically, this could be from nowhere but Chablis with its nose of mineral reduction, pungent iodine and cool tidal pool scents. There is both very good volume and energy to the tension-filled medium-bodied flavors that flash fine cut on the youthfully austere finale. This could use better depth but that should probably develop with a few years of patience.
