  Brought a magnum bottle to a festive lunch, to go with crayfish au natural (and, coincidentally, cote de boeuf served cold - which worked fine). Not tasted before so very happy the wine was pretty good! Nice body and delicate. Some development, bit definitely room for more (I would say 4-6 years based on this bottle). Ripe citrus, touch of honey and a nice minerality still. A slight oily character which is attractive, and good accidity. I am considering buying more to keep for later occasions of this kind.

  Belle evolution, au sommet de sa maturité, où un peu sur la phase déclinante.
  Robe superbe dans les jaunes couleur foins d'automne.
  Arômes de pommes. Minéralité un peu effacée.

  Bright pale color of yellow gold. Nose is honeysuckle and lemon peel. On the palate, the wine is plainly oxidative, but not in a bad way at all. It has sweet lemony and tupelo honey tones, a bit of an oily quality on the palate, but enough acidity at the end to maintain its equilibrium. It surely does not say "Les Clos" or "Grand Cru" to me, but it is a perfectly acceptable rendition of mature 1er cru Chablis. And given this is a wine that was an instant close out, purchased in 2005 for some silly price like $20 a bottle or less, it's better than ok in its context. If you're holding, drink 'em up, and I'd do it with food leaning towards the creamy side, like poulet a la creme aux morilles, or a creamy delicata squash soup, and not something bright and breezy like Dungeness crab or raw oysters, which would overwhelm and tip up its lack of steely minerality.

  The FRENCH BAKERY, Bay Harbour Island, Chablis/Sancerre BYO Dinner (The French Bakery, Kane concourse, Bay Harbour Island, FL): Flight 3, #1. Deirdre's wine. A balanced wine from the hot 2000 vintage, lacked the crisp acidity we preferred in the 01.

  Probably the best bottle of these yet. Pale straw yellow. Intense citrus and mineral on the nose, with a fainter note of white flowers and even fainter tropical fruit. Intensely flavored, good viscosity in the mouth, this shows as quite round. Excellent length dominated by the young citrus notes and the slowly fading minerality. Shows how good the 2000 Chablis Grand Cru are.
