Community Tasting Note

VincentMorey Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 16, 2023 - Unlike what some others prefer, my approach is not to decant but to pop and pour. I particularly enjoyed the mild aromatic initial pungency that was very elegant and addictive, a quick whiff after popping the cork. When quite chilled and poured into the glass, a lot of aromatic sweet apples, skin, core, and just a touch of lemon. Not too tart either. After 15 minutes in the glass, light honey aromas. This is unlike many other 2016 vintage Chablis or White Burgundy for that matter. In a very good spot right now where there is very vibrant freshness and enough fruit (I worry when the fruit completely fades before the next day). Elegant acidity and body, flowers, ground almond paste, and just a tiny touch of citrus. This is more approachable than a structured and linear 2014, and doesn't have the marine pool / seaweed flavors of 2011 tasted two years ago. Pair this with seafood and as much sauce as you need. Phenomenal with cooked shellfish. Extremely classy and classical at the same time, one of the best expressions of Dauvissat Forest. For sure better than 2018 vintage. Could age a lot longer for sure, but for those who like it fresh like a younger Dauvissat village Chablis, this is in a great spot now approaching the 8 year mark. Wish I had more.
