| Community Tasting Notes (average 85.7 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by guitarguy on 2/12/2013 & rated 86 points: Yellow with hints of orange, nose of lemon, curd, molasses and vanilla. Stoney lemon, smoke and lime flavors. Good. (1708 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 6/24/2012 & rated 85 points: Monthly Tasting Group: Loads of CDP's and more (Meritage, St. Paul): Pale gold color. Tasted one glass over 15 minutes. This was decidedly bland. Lacks any particular personality. A little citrus, a lot of nothing else. (2785 views) | | | Tasted by guitarguy on 12/3/2010 & rated 86 points: Well this was not horrible but it is not great either. It has a certain mustiness to it and is dominated by lemony acidity that overwhelms pretty much everything else about the wine. Temperature did not seem to have much of an affect on the way it drank, nor did air and time. The must extended to the nose, along with the citrus notes. There was a long, citric finish but it was more annoying than scrumptious. (2142 views) | | | Tasted by mellison on 2/22/2010 & rated 85 points: At least this wine is consistent, mediocre. (2312 views) | | | Tasted by mellison on 2/19/2010 & rated 86 points: My second bottle of this and the message is that you only get what you pay for, often less but never more. This is just a mediocre bottle of win and a mediocre bottle of Chablis. Kind of bitter and totally lacking in any charm or sophistication. Way over priced for what it is. (2300 views) | | | Tasted by mellison on 10/22/2009 & rated 86 points: My wife and I are big Chablis fans as are the guests who drank this with us. I guess you get no more then what you pay for and often less. This fits nicely into the "less" category. Kind of harsh tastes of green apple with none of the sophistication of NZ Sauvignon Blanc which also has that Granny Smith acid taste. I paid about $25 for this and would have been more satisfied with a $17-$19 NZ SB. Live and learn!!! (1038 views) | | | Tasted by marc d on 6/2/2009: Lemon lime and a fair amount of Chablis chalk. Vibrant and racy. Very good with pan seared scallops.
Would buy again. I prefer this over the Vaillons. (1059 views) |

Garagiste (12/6/2008)
(MONTMAINS Pinson Chablis) 2007 Chablis Holiday Special Dear Friends, This was just confirmed last night and it qualifies for our first Holiday Special. I would have waited until the work-week to put this out but I only have until Monday a.m to confirm or the parcel goes to another (probably Belgium) so here goes... The 2007 Chablis vintage needs no introduction and this set of wines represents one of the finest price/value relationships in high-end white Burgundy - it's that simple. For under $25 you have two potentially outstanding examples with verve, clarity, cut and substance to burn. Pinson delivered a cache of top wine in 2007 and I'm certain from tasting most of the better houses (more than once) that they are not only competitive from a qualitative standpoint but can usurp many of the top contenders once in bottle. You can check pricing on Fevre or other 2007's from the same vineyards for comparison but the cut-rate pricing below speaks for itself. While I disdain when retailers make comments like "you'll regret not buying this" or "buy two cases!" or "this is a must-purchase" (no wine qualifies as a must-purchase, food is a must purchase), in this case pick your catch-all phrase as they almost qualify. How about "these are quite tempting to stock up on" - that's tame enough but you get the point. Two fabulous buys on top-tier Burgundy. This parcel is directly from the cellars at Pinson and will arrive in early 2009: 2007 Domaine Pinson Chablis 1er "Montmains" (BH89-91) 2007 Domaine Pinson Chablis 1er "Vaillons" (BH88-91) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Burg7608 Burg7609 |

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Chablis Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)
2014 Vintage Notes:
"... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman
2018 Vintage Notes:
"There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
