Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, November 26, 2014 - Full yellow color. The first scent is one of truffles, but then it is incredibly fresh and amazingly complex with saline and iodine notes, crystallized orange peel, and even some vanilla bean. Hallmark Raveneau texture, perfectly ripe citrus fruit, and then vibrant acidity and a scintillating stony finish. Oddly enough, I've tried this at 3 year intervals since 2005. In both 2008 and 2011, the Chapelot seemed very atypical for Chablis. Not tonight, though. Exciting, beautifully balanced Chablis that reminded me of how perfect the sugar/acid tension potentially can be in 2002. Fabulous bottle.
