Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1989

Smells like an aged Raveneau, honey over minerality, still vibrant acidity, full-bodied w/nice richness, long, lingering finish, not quite as fine as the 1989 Chapelots 1er Cru I posted on recently, but very close!! — 5 days ago

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2014

Oy vey. This is gorgeous. Soft edges and intense but blanched fruit. Cool wet stone, delicate citrus, an oily complex note. Spectacular but quiet — a month ago

Chapelot Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1989

Butterscotch, nutty, bottle sweetness, still a great fill level, plenty of acid to keep it from being cloying, lingering finish, I’m aware this was likely better 10-15 years ago, but it’s hanging in there, down to my last mixed dozen of 1989 and 1990 Raveneau purchased on release!! — 12 days ago

@Dave i would also try Bessin, Droin, Picq, and Gautheron if you come across them. Tribut is great value. There’s a family connection to Dauvissat, if memory serves. I also love Pattes Loup and De Moor, in a more oxidized style.

@Doug Powers yes, Jean Dauvissat Pere et Fils run by the great Fabien Dauvissat is one the young bright lights in Chablis.

Forêt Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013

Medium light lemon yellow . Quite exuberant and open , ripe citrus and yellow fruits , seashell and crushed rocks . On the palate this is quite rich but with good mineral acidity . Citrus and white fruits , chalky hints . Long , vibrant and well balanced on the palate , perfect now but also showing quite young , can go further another 5 years at least .
