According to Stephen Tanzer, writing for Vinous.com: "I always look forward to visiting Benoit Droin's airplane hangar-like winery on the edge of town because it's a chilly respite from early-June heat in Chablis. But this year he was heating the large tank room because most of the 2014 malolactic fermentations had not yet finished. In fact, several wines were not ready to be tasted, although I had a quick look at the portion of each that was aging in barrel. (Some early impressions: The Vaillons showed lovely acid snap and tension and was perhaps more typically Chablis-like than the fruitier, more generous but less taut Montmains)... Droin generally picks early to retain acidity, and he told me that the wines that had finished their secondary fermentations were carrying a brisk five grams per liter of acidity, with pHs in the low 3.1 to 3.15 range. Potential alcohol levels in 2014 were fairly high at 12.8% to 13%."
