    May 22, 2022 - Perfect Chablis

  • David J Cooper wrote: 90 points

    June 16, 2017 - Clear light yellow. SO2 in the front of the nose. Mineral, oyster shell, lemon and apple . More sulfur and oak then I remember in a Moreau Premier cru Chablis. Delicious lemon and oyster shell flavours and a dry finish.

    At first there was a bit of oxidization which blew off.

    May 11, 2016 - Burgundy 2012 at Flatiron (Flatiron, SF): Pale straw in the glass.
    On the nose, slight flint (noble reduction).
    Light body, correct moderate alcohol and high acid, a bit short, classic green apple notes.
    8.5

    Vinification:
    60% in stainless steel vats with temperature-controlled fermentation.
    40% in barrels (90% in 1,2 and 3 years old barrels, 10% in new and 1 year old barrels) for a period of 6 months.

    May 11, 2016 - Great texture. On the steely / bracing side. Great wine, great raw materials but not too enjoyable for me, at least right now.

    March 31, 2016 - Agree with the notes that this wine was more full bodied and "buttery" with the oak very noticeable. Was a little off putting for me which could have been some sulfur as others mentioned. Perhaps this needed more time to mellow but I would not have guessed chablis if asked.
