France Trip: Paris, Champagne, Burgundy; 9/3/2023-9/17/2023 (Paris, Champagne, Burgundy): Pale green color. Drank a small glass at La Chablisienne in what turned out to be a fantastic visit. Really quite sublime, elegant, purity, superbly balanced, apple and quince, saline, limestone, good verve. A step up from the Blanchot and Grenouilles. 93+ to 94pts.

Good volume and flavour intensity, classical aromatic profile, tangible chalky minerality, but rather flat on the finish. Allen Meadows already noticed this in October 2019, but unlike he was hoping, the lack of drive is not going away.

tasted immediately after pouring into decanter and it had some really weird stuff going on... settled down over the two hour decant, NR cuz we weren't paying much attention but this seemed nice as I recall... will hopefully have more input after my next bottle
