Monthly Tasting Group HWS #091; Burgundy: Chablis with Oysters.

Every participant had to bring a wine of the theme. We did not know which wines were brought by the others. All wines were tasted blind, also without knowing when the wine you brought was poured.

This time we invited an oyster specialist who opened six different types of oysters for us to taste beside the wines. Great event!

  Drank from magnum. Beautiful and rich bouquet with minerals and good citrus. On the palate nicely dry and focused with good citrus, minerals and pleasant bitterness. A beautiful Chablis.

  France, Burgundy, Chablis

  The bouquet is expressive, bright/cheerful with flowers and pears. Same on the palate, some minerals and bitterness. Not the tight, focused and with tart citrus style of many Chablis wines, but an easy to like clean wine. Not really complex.

  Pleasant and a bit creamy bouquet. On the palate good minerals and citrus. Still a bit locked. Nice wine, but wait a few years.

  Good fruits and minerals in the bouquet. Same minerals on the palate, nicely dry and juicy fruits, grapefruits and some bitterness in the finish. Give the wine a few years of cellaring. 88+

  See also my previous note of last month. Really beautiful wine, full bodied and beautiful minerality. This time I also noticed just a slight bit of pleasant sweetness. Harmonious and delicious wine.
