Flight 1 - WELCOME CHAMPAGNE (1 Note)

  • 1996 Bollinger Champagne La Grande Année 88 Points

    France, Champagne

    Nose is mature with more bready/yeasty notes than fruit. Palate reflects a richer style with lots of toast and a round, lower acid profile. Mature flavors. Modest energy and effervescence. As a fan of younger Champagne, this is past prime for my tastes.

Flight 2 - PREUSES (4 Notes)

Flight 3 - FOREST (4 Notes)

  • 2001 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis 1er Cru La Forest 88 Points

    France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru

    Served double blind in 01/04/05/08 flight. Medium gold color. The nose has some slight oxidation, which picks up in intensity with time in the glass. Bruised green apples and honey aromas. Palate has mature apple/pear fruit. The acidity is reasonably bright, but the fruit profile is quite mature and worsens in that regard with air. Drink up.

  • 2008 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis 1er Cru La Forest 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru

    Served double blind in 01/04/05/08 flight. Light-to-medium gold. Full nose with aromas that are classically Chablis -- salinity, sea breeze and under ripe green apple. The palate is similarly classic with bright, cutting acids. The fruit is somewhat subdued right now and taking a second chair to the structure and acid. Good. Needs time to really shine.

  • 2005 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis 1er Cru La Forest 95 Points

    France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru

    Served double blind in 01/04/05/08 flight. Medium gold. A wow nose with explosive and layered aromas -- rich apple fruit, minerals, spice and wintergreen mint. The palate has terrific concentration and layering. A suave and sexy mouthfeel. Still so youthful with fresh, bright acids complementing the fruit richness. Terrific. No doubt my favorite of the flight and one of my wines of the night.

  • 2004 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis 1er Cru La Forest 89 Points

    France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru

    Served double blind in 01/04/05/08 flight. Lighter gold. Full nose that is more dense and non-delineated -- mostly just apple with a very slight oxidative note. On the palate, this comes across as more simple and one dimensional. Good structure from the still vibrant acids, but not much depth at this time. Hold?
