Shaw's Crab House - Chicago, IL
Tasted Wednesday, August 27, 2014 by tooch with 604 views
A bunch of out-of-towners were in Chicago and we thought that opening up some Chablis would be fun. The theme expanded a bit to include a flight of non-Chablis White Burgundy and a flight of Champagne. Only 2 off bottles in the bunch...not all that bad.

It was great seeing Amy, Jeremiah, Jason, and Tm (in addition to the Chicago people)! Thanks to the team at Shaw's for taking care of us too.

Another great bottle of this. Biscuity, truffle-y, with beautiful aromas of apples/pears/slate. The palate had a nice creamy note to it with with lots of lemons, limes, mushrooms, and floral notes. Delicious wine that I want to drink more of!

2004 Launois Pere et Fils Champagne Grand Cru Special Club Blanc de Blancs 93 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru
A really impressive, young, champagne. Tons of power, with lots of energy and lime flavors. The palate took some time to open up, but when it did the lemons and limes really began to expand. Incredibly young, but already showing signs of greatness.
