| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.2 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Vinumming & Ahhing on 11/29/2023 & rated 92 points: Nick A's 64 Goodge Street Burgundy Dinner (64 Goodge Street, London): Lemon posset and planed lime zest on the nose with a couple of ppm of tutti fruiti ice cream. Lovely refreshing palate, brisk acidity and classic Chablis oyster shell. (748 views) | | | Tasted by oenanthe on 11/29/2023 & rated 93 points: Nick's Burgundy evening at 64 Goodge Street: Very pale. Crystalline. Very acidic, sharp, with sea shells, marine spray and grit. Really good. There is a very attractive underlying sweetness on the palate that you would never guess from the nose, and this slight change of tack whilst surprising is a neat trick. Liked this a lot, and I think the tingly freshness of this made the Bessin 2014 appear more tired than it maybe was. (788 views) | | | Tasted by Paul D on 11/29/2023 & rated 92 points: Nick's 64 Goodge Street (Mainly) Burg Dinner (64 Goodge St): Under DIAM (10). Lovely nose - youthful, quite ripe, almost tropical but plenty of salinity and minerality too. Medium bodied, middleweight with a touch of weight, vibrant acids, again that combination of ripe fruit and salty minerals, crisp acids, long finish. Excellent. (701 views) | | | Tasted by chbeaumont on 10/27/2023 & rated 94 points: Pale, restrained, steely; chiselled, sleek, well balanced. (602 views) | | | Tasted by WineDuq on 4/18/2023 & rated 93 points: Really enjoyable bottle. Nose is pure Chablis; saline, minerals, lemon/pineapple. Nice medium-bodied mouthfeel with flavors of lemon, pineapple, minerals. Ripe with nice extraction. Nearly sweet on the finish but balanced by fresh acidity and grip. Medium long on the finish. Really good stuff. (854 views) | | | Tasted by jnewman77 on 5/16/2022: Delicious; ripe fruits, a hint of tropical notes initially followed by green apple, lemon peel, sea breeze, floral notes. The palate is intense and excellent, but coiled and young. This needs several more years in the cellar for me. (953 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 8/21/2021 & rated 93 points: Undervalued beauty here and always delivers in its youth.
Mineral , bright soft flinty and full on energetic . Young and with lots of life but definitely we loved it at this vibrant stage . 93 (1410 views) | | | Tasted by BrendanMcS on 7/30/2021 & rated 94 points: Pale straw color. Fresh apricot and limestone on the nose. Crisp palate with stone and mineral flavors. Tropical fruit. Also some peach. A nice tartness to it. Overall an excellent Chablis. A great way to celebrate the birth of our first child; cheers! (1278 views) | | | Tasted by Alexander Smith on 11/22/2020 & rated 93 points: Soil of Kimmeridgian Marl. South – South/West Facing. Age of vines 15 years. 7000 bottles produced. Powerful and big nose of crushed oyster shells, more stone fruits, rustic old school aromas. The palate is rich, big Iron fist in a velvet glove style of win, rich and succulent stone fruit, mandarin, crushed oyster shells, oil texture, with a rich finish. This certainly can support food better than his other wines, yet I just feel this big wine was missing a certain chiseled aspect, maybe too young? (1726 views) | | | Tasted by asiabear on 7/8/2019 & rated 94 points: At lunch Chez Monsieur, Madeline, Paris with SA and FA
Light nose but good fruit and an excellent presentation of Chardonnay without being over the top or over-oaked (2061 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 2/18/2019: Expressive from the get go, with ripe orchard fruits up front and chalk and salt down back. It is complex, with some freshly grated ginger and preserved citrus notes. It has excellent purity and depth and that river rock, pristine quality that you get in great year Chablis. Far too young but a joy to drink. (1973 views) |

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
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."
