  Clear light yellow. SO2 in the front of the nose. Mineral, oyster shell, lemon and apple . More sulfur and oak then I remember in a Moreau Premier cru Chablis. Delicious lemon and oyster shell flavours and a dry finish.
  
  At first there was a bit of oxidization which blew off.

  Burgundy 2012 at Flatiron (Flatiron, SF): Pale straw in the glass.
  On the nose, slight flint (noble reduction).
  Light body, correct moderate alcohol and high acid, a bit short, classic green apple notes.
  8.5
  
  Vinification:
  60% in stainless steel vats with temperature-controlled fermentation.
  40% in barrels (90% in 1,2 and 3 years old barrels, 10% in new and 1 year old barrels) for a period of 6 months.

  Great texture. On the steely / bracing side. Great wine, great raw materials but not too enjoyable for me, at least right now.

  Agree with the notes that this wine was more full bodied and "buttery" with the oak very noticeable. Was a little off putting for me which could have been some sulfur as others mentioned. Perhaps this needed more time to mellow but I would not have guessed chablis if asked.
