Well....once again Pre-mox rears its ugly head. BOTH bottles suffering. One badly, the other slightly. Will give the slightly injured one some air. Seems to be helping. So disappointed. Not worth the gamble storing a lot of French whites for more than ten years. With my extended wine group, this year has been absolutely brutal with so many of us opening Pre-mox wines from so many producers and vintages (all 15 years plus in age). Je suis tres pi55ed!!!
Bottle brought to drink at Oinoscent during afternoon service. The bottle was opened but not decanted for at least an hour.
The wine shows bright clear colour. The wine shows an intoxicating perfume, high intensity, ripe to overripe citrus and stone fruit, quince, lemon, apricot and peach. It has a beautiful, thin and elegant oak frame, wtih spicy hints, brioche, nuts and cinnamon. As it gets warmer in the glass, the fruit gets on the candied/sugar coated dried side over a thin buttery layer. The wine shows high intensity in the palate, high acidity, chalky character, dried and sugar coated fruit again, lime, pineapple, grapefruit, lemony, with a few nutty/coffee notes. The wine is medium to full body, mineral, with a long layered finish. Outstanding quality and in such a great place to drink now

Rich, golden, still with a greenish tinge. Nose and palate initially very tropical, pineapple, but with 10 minutes in the glass the nose becomes quite saline like a sea breeze with a hint of mushroom, the palate very precise mineral, saline, crystalline in purity, with just a hint of bread on the long finish. 3 hours open more in the peachy spice spectrum. All the while quite subtle, refined. A very thick, unctuous mouthfeel. Soft acidity. Very balanced and a pleasure to drink.

(Long-Depaquit Chablis La Moutonne) The nose is quite dense, riper and more fruit driven than the Vaudesir. The palate is richer and also a little sweeter than that wine - still with the minerality for super Chablis though. It's a real mouthful of wine, intense yet presented in a more refined fashion than the 'wall of flavour' offered by the Vaudesir. The length impresses terribly. The domaine thinks that the gap between this wine and the others is the widest they have ever seen.
