  • Bought at the winery and hand carried home. Medium yellow color. Perfumed nose of lemon, lanolin and honeysuckle. Beautiful balance and body. Hints of tropical fruit. Fine mineral component. Long finish. Hits all points of the palate. Still has plenty of life for such an old white.

  • Mid straw in the glass, light gold in the decanter. Nicely saline, mineral nose. Cool and crisp on the attack with a sense of density and weight that doesn't interfere with its cut and line. Saline and savoury with an enticing moreishness. Really good. Proper mature GC Chablis. A little left over in the decanter is still going strongly the following day, possibly even a little lighter and more lean without losing intensity. ****1/2

    So, 12 bottles drunk between 2007 and today. Three poxed, five so-so to good, four absolutely top flight. We finished on a high.

  • Lovely complexity; has developed a nuttiness in its middle age. Don't keep it too much longer: I'll be drinking my last bottle soon

  • The roller coaster continues. After a few sub-par bottles, this one was singing. Pale to mid straw, a lightly saline nose. Proper GC weight and texture, decent flavour and length, maybe not quite as intense and grippy as it could be, but really good. Proper maturing GC Chablis and a lovely pairing with a turbot. ****

  • Decanted, and some worrying fine brown sediment with the dregs. Quite a full gold in colour. Nose initially a little adelhydic and worrying, though curiously this seems to low off and the wine isn't actually poxed but it is overly mature and tiring. A sense of sweetness to it too. Some minerality, the riper frame that GC tends to in its maturity with more than a nod towards the Côte d'Or, but also a simplicity, lack of grip and length that makes this an acceptable drink but not exciting. 10/12. Of the ten to date, three clear poxes, three or four also-rans (to varying degrees) and two or three absolutely stellar IIRC. Ho hum. I've had much better luck with the 99 Clos and both Clos and Preuses in 2000. ***
