90+ Wine Club, Chablis blind tasting (Monk restaurant): low intensity, almost numb, smells of nothing at this point, a few weird coffee/nutty notes palate shows the same profile, med body, high acidity, very angular, unbalanced, underripe green fruit, steely, long finish

Aggressively decanted to disperse the nose-tickling free sulphur. Fresh white fruit nose. Good concentration and balance..should have paid m ore attention. Well priced.

Beautiful color in the glass, the nose is completely absent on this wine, almost oddly so. The palate is super subtle as well, defined by mineral. It has a creamy approachable texture wanting you to grab for another sip. We sampled it for a potential white tasting. It didn’t make the list. I rarely am without words when sampling a wine, but this Chablis may be the exception. I attempted it again with some food, but alas the experience was like February 2nd.

A deep, seductive, thoughtful Chablis. From one of Defaix’s oldest vineyards from South-facing slopes, these magnificent grapes are partially fermented in oak adding a depth and complexity that is perfect for the Winter season. This is contemplative Chablis. Take your time, think a lot, think of everything you’ve got.
Out of .375, this has some nice herbal typicity on the nose, but the 2018 fat on the palate. It's not terrible by any means, but it's not what I'm looking for from Chablis.

Masser af chablisk mineralitet i næsen, der ellers er noget varm, banan-agtig og hvor fadet stikker ud. I smagen er frugten endnu mere moden, næsten tropisk, lidt høj alkohol og så forstyrrer fadet rigtig meget. Syren er fin, så forhåbentlig integrerer det bedre med flere år i flasken. Men lidt for voldsom og alt for uharmonisk lige nu.

Lots of fruit in the nose and the rather plush palate. Lacks the required structure, too easy.

Typical. But with quite aggressive acidity.

Bone dry, minerally, chalky; delicious. Better very cold in my opinion

A white wine with body and adult appeal.
Great w/ Pounded Veal / Arugala / Tomato entree!
