| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.3 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 26 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Putnam Weekley on 4/13/2024 & rated 91 points: EYE^ Perfect clarity to look at. This is one increment lighter in color than a Chablis 2018 Bel Air et Clardy immediately preceding it.
NOSE^ The smell is a suggestively savage instrument. I gather a brew of almonds and roots, roiled with mint and twine. Cinnamon/chili; mussels; steaming southern biscuits; gravel.
MOUTH^ The first liquid drink is confrontational. Properly vitigenic and searing acidity triggers a saline response. Muscular white fruit of pristine clarity reverberates fossil bone structure. The event aims deliberately toward a finish of bitterly appetizing vegetal scar—iodine, marble grit, mentholated lemon smash. It's big, yet grippy and austere in texture.
TIME^ Development: clarity and sweetness gather as the bottle yields. The bouquet digs its heels in, to offer blanched resins, birch bark, greengage, and Champagne.
STANCE (Cressbeckler style)^ I opened this bottle, vintage 2018, in 2024, well before it obtained its most accomplished expression. The wildness it exemplified four years ago is *almost* modulated enough now to appeal to an unmotivated, broad-minded, and discriminating observer. Naive bliss, stomping baby goat energy: 92-100. Appointed manners and precision: 90. Weighted avg. 91. (151 views) | | | Tasted by YagerWine on 3/31/2024 & rated 80 points: Even worse than the last bottle. 1 left. This wine really stinks. (157 views) | | | Tasted by SH Wu on 2/5/2024 & rated 89 points: A little bit natty on the nose on open - give it time to blow off if that is not your thing.
After a good amount of air, this wine really pops. Fresh acidity with a core of orchard fruit, spice and herbs. A thick, creamy texture leads into a long finish. (339 views) | | | Tasted by YagerWine on 11/27/2023 & rated 85 points: Overripe and flabby. Distinct apple note. Not my things. Anybody want to buy the other 2 mags I have? (366 views) | | | Tasted by Vas19 on 7/18/2022 & rated 89 points: Not a good vintage of this wine. Too ripe. (1200 views) | | | Tasted by Twowinechicks on 4/13/2022 & rated 88 points: Bright light gold, lemony nose, lively and a tad short on mid palate. (1101 views) | | | Tasted by glou.sf on 3/6/2022 & rated 92 points: Saline notes, citrus, herbs, and just a hint of more tropical fruit (coconut?) on the nose. Lovely acidity with more citrus/lemon notes and minerals on the palate. Good finish. Feels lean and fresh and quite delicious! (1327 views) | | | Tasted by JM_MadTown on 8/28/2021 & rated 85 points: I find that this wine has some odd flavors and I just not enjoying it. (1489 views) | | | Tasted by B Paul on 7/12/2021: On opening this had a very strong apple component as well as some oxidative notes. In fact, if blind, I might have guessed something from the Jura. With air it did shape up a good bit with the acidity/minerality becoming more pronounced. Somewhat of a unique wine - I look forward to trying some of the Chablis bottlings. (1707 views) | | | Tasted by batstongue on 5/31/2021 & rated 85 points: Strong green apples in front palate changing to ripe yellow apples and then finishing with strong clean acidity. Very mouth watering. If you like green apple wine you’ll love this but I’ll take a pass. (1241 views) | | | Tasted by geoffreychambertin on 4/9/2021 & rated 89 points: This was nice. A little tropical, high acid. Good food wine. (1185 views) | | | Tasted by VegaSicilia1970 on 3/14/2021 & rated 95 points: Fantastic. Fantastically balanced wine. Tropical notes, medium body, great acidity and minerality. Finish lingers for minutes. Phenomenal. Age will only improve this. (1206 views) | | | Tasted by the godfather on 2/7/2021: Favorite borgougne blanc (1051 views) | | | Tasted by Barry Rothof on 12/13/2020 & rated 89 points: nice, fresh, mineral, high toned citrus (1163 views) | | | Tasted by the godfather on 10/1/2020: rockstar (1028 views) | | | Tasted by JOsgood on 9/25/2020: Soooo terrific. I just adore these wines. (1190 views) | | | Tasted by the godfather on 9/8/2020: killer (894 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 9/6/2020 & rated 90 points: Social distancing blind tasting: Ooh this was nice. No detailed notes but lovely. (1225 views) | | | Tasted by the godfather on 7/22/2020: absolutely off the charts good for the level. LOVE (1027 views) | | | Tasted by Barry Rothof on 7/7/2020 & rated 89 points: Firm, quite powerful and hard, wet stones, tangy acidity and very young!!! (919 views) | | | Tasted by forceberry on 5/29/2020 & rated 90 points: A naturalist Chardonnay from Chitry. Fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, aged for 11 months in old, neutral oak barrels. Vinified and bottled without SO2. 13,5% alcohol.
Medium-deep lemon yellow color with youthful greenish highlights. Juicy and sweet-toned yet still somewhat cool and precise nose that exudes ripeness without compromising any freshness. Aromas of sweet golden apples, some cantaloupe, a little bit of creaminess, light herbal notes of birch leaves and a mineral hint of chalk dust. The overall impression is that of a warmer-vintage Chablis. The wine is fresh and firm on the palate with a medium body and slightly wild flavors of ripe golden apples, cantaloupe, some herbal spice, a little bit of waxy funk, light mineral notes of chalk dust, a hint of pineapple and a touch of creamy richness. The acidity feels firm and pretty high, but not sharp or incisive, making the wine feel balanced but not lean or tightly-knit. Fresh and mouth-cleansing finish with quite long and enjoyably bright flavors of crisp green apples, some sweeter notes of cantaloupe, a little bit of creamy richness, light leafy notes of birch leaves, a hint of waxy funk and a touch of chalky bitterness.
A very nice, fresh and clean Chardonnay that manages to combine very Chablis-like freshness and minerality to somewhat ripe, juicy and more concentrated, yellow-toned fruit. Harmonious and very enjoyable stuff. It's hard to assess for how long this kind of wine will keep in a cellar, since it feels like it is made for early-drinking purposes. A nice naturalist, priced according to its quality at 26€. (1294 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

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
