| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.2 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 23 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Stonewws on 12/5/2017: In a great spot and doubt it will evolve in a positive way much more. (1404 views) | | | Tasted by Two Winos on 11/6/2016 & rated 90 points: Very nice, although lacking in the minerality I look for in a Chablis. (1767 views) | | | Tasted by Fateful Destiny on 11/18/2015 & rated 89 points: Better than last time; last bottle (2206 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 7/25/2015: Notes pretty much identical to last time. Lots of citrus and sea salt/minerality on the nose, with some floral notes in the background. On the palate, very crisp with slightly tart and serious acidity. Very clean and refreshing finish. Excellent with lentil salad. (2497 views) | | | Tasted by Fateful Destiny on 5/16/2015 & rated 87 points: not impressed. Lacks depth and substance (2562 views) | | | Tasted by tbone on 4/19/2015 flawed bottle: Oxidized - first one out of 12 bottles. (1787 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 4/17/2015: Much better than the village Chablis from the same producer. Deep gold in color. Seemed its best at just below cellar temp. Great stony seashells on the nose, with a mix of chalk and sea salt; a hint of melon in the background and some minty herbs. On the palate, good body with some real density perceptible on the tongue. Elegant and refined with good acidity that is present as it tickles your mouth. Nice clean finish. (1377 views) | | | Tasted by nectar14 on 3/5/2015 & rated 91 points: Greenish gold. Great nose of ocean breeze, almond, apple and lemon. Medium body, good texture and definition. Pleasant and persistent finish with a slight touch of oak which is only an accent. Very good. (1228 views) | | | Tasted by tbone on 3/4/2015: Drinking fantastic now. All the usual great chablis character - seashore, oyster shell, briny. Spot on so drink up. (937 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 1/18/2015 & rated 88 points: Medium gold color. Nose is starting to show nutty oxidative aromas on top of the core green apple fruit. Palate is now heavier and less fresh than the past few bottles. Still a good chablis with a mineral and stony character, but showing far more advanced than a 2011. As many expected these are early drinkers that show well young and precipitously fall off. Drink up. (1008 views) | | | Tasted by La Cave d'Argent on 11/4/2014 & rated 83 points: This vibrant, medium yellow/gold wine flaunts chalky minerality on both the nose and palate, supplemented by green apple, lemon and coriander. Light-bodied and with well-integrated alcohol (listed as 12.5%), it thins a bit in the middle and finishes short. Quite disappointing for a Premier Cru Chablis. I doubt that this will fill in the gaps with cellaring. Drink now-2016. (1208 views) | | | Tasted by glou.sf on 9/18/2014 & rated 92 points: Nose of green apple, pineapple, minerals, only a hint of oak, but not very fragrant. Smooth on the palate with medium+ finish. Great QPR. (1183 views) | | | Tasted by Vinnut on 5/12/2014 & rated 91 points: Light & bright straw yellow in color. Fragrant, attractive, still developing & youthful nose of ripe citrus overtones of lemons, limes, grapefruit, apples with lovely floral notes of honeysuckle, some gunpowder notes, chalky, wet stones and minerals. Medium to medium-light bodied with a good concentration of balanced, still developing & youthful, well focused, ripe fruit flavors of green apples, lemons, limes and grapefruit with chalk and minerals. Long lingering crisp finish. Drinks quite well at present but has the structure & acidity to develop further with additional aging. (1601 views) | | | Tasted by Baggio on 3/1/2014 & rated 91 points: Kind of muted, lemony, but not too much. (1773 views) | | | Tasted by jshearer on 2/14/2014 & rated 91 points: Nose of lemon citrus, apple blossom, and something between sea breeze and crushed rock. Good acidity on entry, driven again by lemon pulp and some rind, maybe even a touch of pineapple, and some steely minerality. Finishes firmly on the center of the tongue and then lingers nicely. (1644 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 2/8/2014 & rated 92 points: Plowing through these - consistent with my prior notes. Love the energy and precision. Drinking outstanding young. (1537 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 1/2/2014 & rated 92 points: Consistent with my earlier note (1453 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 12/19/2013 & rated 93 points: Terrific, delicious nose of lemon cream, minerals and green apple. Palate has medium body with lip smacking racy acidity. Taut with tension and verve. Loads of body and presence across the mid-palate and into a long persistent finish. Young, but firing on each and every cylinder. (1214 views) | | | Tasted by jshearer on 11/16/2013: Blind Oregon Pinot Noir (Garth & Sara's): Acid bomb upon opening, but after some air the acidity comes into better balance with the nice stoney, citrus flavors. Another crowd-pleaser. (1357 views) | | | Tasted by cookie7 on 11/12/2013 & rated 90 points: Pop and pour - note after 2 hours. Lemon and citrus on the nose. Nice acidity and salinity on the palate. Very enjoyable wine. (1059 views) |

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Chablis Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)
2014 Vintage Notes:
"... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman
2018 Vintage Notes:
"There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
