I think this bottle had the, and I mean thee, slightest case of TCA that I've ever detected. It was so minimal that I kept wondering if it was a genuine and proper trait of the wine or true contamination. So, I'm going to err on the side of caution and call it as off since I also think there's some impact in the fruit coming across as slightly muted and a prominent mineral effect compared my prior experience with this wine. My first thought upon tasting was, "Wow, is this Chablis?. Where did all this minerality come from?". Then secondly, "Is there some slight musty cardboard in there?". But that doesn't mean I won't drink it ;)

A little disjointed. Give it another year to calm down. Minerals under somewhat flabby or ripe fruit. I get some pineapple. Finish is long. Maybe just needs some time.

Drank with Beachrooster at WCC. Needed some air and is still quite primary but a really nice Chas-Mont and will no doubt please down the road. Deep succulence with a very long finish. Rough score, 91-92

(Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes) Light lemon yellow color; odd cream sauce, smoky pea soup nose; odd, smoky, celeriac soup palate with medium acidity; medium-plus finish

La Paulée de San Francisco - Gala Dinner (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Small glass,brief note. Intense fruit with an intense fruit concentration that is almost sweet, followed by a burst of energy that serves as a refreshing contrast. Very nice.
