An Epic Summer Wine Weekend - Year 2; 6/30/2023-7/2/2023 (Muskoka, Ontario, Canada): [Tasted Single Blind] This pours light straw in the glass with flecks of green. The nose is lightly custardy, with dry hay, chalk, flint, a touch of white peach, and an appealing airy sea spray note. The palate enters on rich orchard fruit turning to chalky dry extract with medium plus precise acid, along the lengthy finish. I found this wine to become more and more appealing as I drank it. While I was unsure of which wine it was, there were clear Chablis markers in this classical profile, and while initially not a super expressive wine it grew in the glass and was nicely finessed. On reveal this made sense and was a good showing. This is a Grand Cru I've never heard of, and looking into it more it overlaps Vaudesir and Les Preuses as a monopole for the estate.
