Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 27, 2014 - While aromatically both impeccably correct and impressive for its expression and depth, I feel the real statement is made on the palate. I find this Chardonnay to have the mouthfeel of a red wine, which is quite amazing considering the lowish (12.5 %) alcohol content and the absolutely fine (discreet) use of oak. Not as energetic, layered or weightless as the Butteaux of same vintage but obviously not like any other village Chablis. Bone dry, rich and extremely satisfying in the most salty fashion. I found this not the easiest of wines in terms of food pairing, but when paired correctly it is quite rewarding. I guess it is a matter of taste, but due to mostly the more careful use of oak I easily prefer this over Dauvissat Chablis of the same vintage. Quite ridiculous that you can actually find this on a restaurant wine list for 30 €.
