(BH91-94 points) A wonderfully refined and pure nose offers up an intense floral character that is liberally laced with mineral reduction and iodine notes. There is an equally intense stoniness to the beautifully well-delineated medium weight flavors that display really lovely underlying tension on the vibrant, long, very dry and well-balanced finish. In 2011 Droin's Blanchots is a wine of finesse and refinement.

(WA90-92 points) The 2011 Chablis Blanchots is the only grand cru that sees no oak, but the fruit still tends toward the richer side of things within the context of Chablis. Nectarine, peaches, flowers and spices flesh out in this relatively open, supple wine. Today, the Blanchots comes across as easygoing. It should be delicious and approachable upon release. Anticipated maturity: 2013+. - Antonio Galloni
