2021 Walter Scott Chardonnay Cuvée Lucille Freedom Hill Vineyard
5/18/2024 - GuanYu Likes this wine: 95 Points
Shiny, pale yellow-gold with green tint. Lemon, medium-high toasted barrel, almond, salinity, lemon meringue pie, zest, white flowers, garden herbs, smoke and minerality. Medium-full bodied, high acidity, medium-high structure, medium alcohol and long mineral finish. Fresh, complex and elegant. A lot of tension and energy on the palate that felt like wine were about to explode.
I had tasted a large range of Chardonnay from this winery. Freedom Hill vineyard was definitely my favorite at time of writing. Lucille Freedom Hill vineyard wine seemed to have a marginal edge (perhaps mostly mental) over the regular Freedom Hill vineyard wine, but I questioned whether it was worth the 25-30% price premium. Fantastic Roulot-style Chardonnay.

2016 Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos St. Jean
5/18/2024 - GuanYu Likes this wine: 91 Points
Pale white gold with green tint. Citrus, green apple, white flowers, mild oak, roasted almond, oyster shell, sea salt, orange peel, steel, cumin and minerality. Medium-full bodied, high acidity, medium structure, medium alcohol and medium mineral finish. Complex, feminine, and well-balanced. An introverted Chassagne where energy was found in the second half of the palate.
Wine was muted on the nose. I wonder if it was going through a dormant phase.

2019 Domaine d'Eugénie Bâtard-Montrachet
5/18/2024 - GuanYu Likes this wine: 95 Points
Medium pale yellow gold with green tint. Citrus, lemon oil, white flowers, hazelnut, mild butter, and minerality. Medium-full bodied, medium-high acidity, medium-high structure, medium alcohol and long finish. Complex, powerful and well-balanced.
Drank at a restaurant and had to decant in order to allow maximum opening. We could tell it was a grand cru quality but better to wait for 2 more years before opening.
