Chablis Chardonnay 2023

Lyle Fass
9.4

Killer nose: stanky, lemony, green apple, with so much soil, stone, Kimmeridgian oyster-bed character and Chablis soul. The mouthfeel is the whole story here. Rich, juicy, opulent and hedonistic in texture, but absolutely alive, with real voltage underneath. Deep, layered, mouthwatering and beautifully mineral, with that classic oyster-shell salinity running through the fruit. A basic Chablis only in name. This has serious depth, energy and texture. — 16 days ago

Montmains Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

25 years younger than the 1989 Chapelot 1er Cru from Raveneau that we also opened, this 1er Cru is also brilliant, currently distinctly showing lemon and mineral/soil aromas and flavors, a touch of maturity but then the bracing acidity reminds me this definitely will evolve further, I was lucky to get a large slug of these 2014s, and they continue to impress, lingering finish, will cellar further!! This just might be an aged white wine I could even convince @Tom Casagrande of drinking at this age?!?!?! 🤔🤷😎 — 3 months ago

I have to admit I had a bunch of 14s from a range of producers that convinced me it was a classic old-school Chablis year. But they’re long gone!

Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2016

Young, fresh, still quite primary fruit in this younger 1er Cru Vaillons, some tart lemon acidity, some fine minerality, a floral note as well, medium-long finish, needs a little more aging (2-4 years?) for my palate, but very, very nice!! — 3 months ago

Fourchaume Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

Lovely aged 1er Cru Chablis, still quite fresh and lively, great fruit and complexity, lots of balancing acidity, I think the 2014 Cote de Lechet might be the top 2014 1er Cru, but this is darn good as well, long finish, “weird” perception on my palate, but I definitely perceived a subtle, yet distinct, “toasted coconut” note at one point (common in the beer pastry stout arena)!! — 3 months ago

I usually only taste coconut in aged Rioja.

@Dave, I agree, that’s why I noted it, I do like coconut — a LOT — in double pastry stout beers!!

That sounds good to me.

Vieilles Vignes Meursault Chardonnay 2022

9.6

This is so good. Cooking now but more notes soon. It’s got this uncanny elegance on the palate plus this unreal concentration of sweet oak, minerals and fleshy fruit but backed up by ripping acids. Buttery Meursault but elevated beyond. — 4 months ago

Sine Qua Non

Tectumque Ventura White Blend 2017

Exciting to try the Sine Qua Non Rhône Valley blend white wine for the first time! A beautiful medium gold color. Nose - scents of tropical fruit with guava nectar nominating. Secondary notes of honey vanilla nut and florals follow. Taste - rich and oily layered wine bring out the variety flavors on the palate - mango, pear and lemon stand out with mineral limestone and white pepper following. The smoky and snap of lemon rind give it a unique medium finish. — 3 years ago
