  Restaurant 65€. 100% Chardonnay. We were in Annecy and the whole family had just circumnavigated the lake by bike. It’s only 23 miles, but there is a decent climb involved and my sons, well, they are not the world’s greatest cyclists. At all. But they were good sports and also exhausted by the end of the ride. So by dinner time, they were both fast asleep. The plan was to meet at the restaurant, and we were already in town at our table, with a bottle of this Chablis well before they showed up (after several texts and a phone call). I would like to take credit for choosing this wine, but it was my wife who suggested it as I was focused on the local wines, naturally. Pale to yellow straw in the glass with an incredible nose of lemon curd, wet rock, and honeysuckle. Yowza. The palate is more enthralling with rich fruit, a balancing zinginess, a mineral element, great weight, and a boatload of verve. The lengthy finish only adds to the allure. Outstanding. 95 Points.

  Half bottle, tasted immediately, chilled to about 55 degrees F, Zalto-style Chardonnay glass. Straw and oak aromas, needs a bit of time to integrate in the glass. Shifts from orange to lemon flavor as it aerates. Goes nicely with a mizuna greens salad, dressed with apple cider vinegar and olio nuovo...nice contrast to the acidity of this Chablis.

  The domaine's plot didn't produce in 2019, so this was made from purchased fruit. Reticent nose day one, day two opens to chamomile, orange blossom, and light pear. Silky palate, medium acidity hits nicely mid palate. Bit more oak influence than I'd like, out of scope against soft yellow citrus and stone. Hoping this integrates more in a few years.

  처음 마셨던 샤블리.
  미네랄리티
  평가는 힘들지만 잘 만든 와인이란 건 느꼈다
