Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 27, 2014 - The critics all seem to adore this, but I entertain slight reservations about this wine. I like it a lot, but it isn't all that. The nose is beautiful, expressive after decanting, mineral and deep, hints of lemon and subtle oak; nice intensity on the palate, lovely minerality, ripe acidity, hint of warmth from the oak; good length. A lovely Chablis, but it does not really distinguish itself from a very good Premier Cru and I would say that this does not have the energy and drive required for greatness; the peacock's tail that Preuses is famous for is missing too. Might it be that, like in Germany, 2007 is not always completely fulfilling its early promise in Chablis either? For my palate, this is completely ready.
