Community Tasting Note

MN Wine Junkie Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 13, 2024 - The Blind Side - no, not football! (Chateau Simms): This was opened for about an hour prior to tasting.

It was in a line up of Chardonnays served blind (including some Burgundies):

1. 2013 Marcassin
2. 2019 Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchère
3. 2018 Kongsgaard Chardonnay The Judge
4. 2021 Faiveley Bâtard-Montrachet
5. 2022 Walter Scott Chardonnay X-Novo Vineyard
6. 2020 Henri Boillot Corton-Charlemagne

2019 Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchère - Easily identified as Burgundy with lots of minerality and acidity, specifically lemon oil, oyster shell, and saline -- very Chablis-like (even though it was a Montrachet). Still young...I would love to taste this in a few years with some age. Still, 95+ now, and some upside, IMO.
