2017 Domaine Daniel Dampt et Fils Chablis

Herbaceous citrus, orange and mandarin, very slight butter, very slightly reductive. Juicy, a little more fleshy on the palate, tangy fruit, a little alcohol warmth, that slight butter note is here as well. More breadth. Nice.

2017 J. Moreau & Fils Chablis

Mineral, very limestone, lemon. Again the acid is a little sharp but the fruit is here as well which is supported by slight tannic burr. Time will help but lovely

2017 Louis Jadot Chablis
France, Burgundy, Chablis
Slightly herbaceous quality, muted citrus fruit; lemon and a little cream cheese. Tannic burr is a little drying on the palate and the fruit exits quite quickly, pursued by this. Hmm.

2015 Domaine des Hâtes Chablis Les Châtillons
France, Burgundy, Chablis
Riper but still in the citrus space with lemon and a slightly herbaceous notes. Similarly ripe on the palate, a little alcohol warmth as well. Lacks acid which means it's a bit meh for me.

2016 Paul Pillot Bourgogne Blanc

Struck match, more citrus than the other bourgognes. Slightly sharp acid, there is a touch of butter but this could have seen more malo for me and there is some alcohol heat on the finish. Hmm.

2017 Trénel Fils Mâcon-Villages

Apple, a little metallic and slight spice, peaches and tinned pears. It is, though, a little fat and flat on the palate.

2016 Louis Latour Mâcon-Villages Chameroy
France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Mâcon-Villages
Rich nose; marzipan, a little gamey and meaty as well as slight struck match. despite the lack of fruit this is a very nice. Lacks on the palate but a little texture and the fruit begins to show a little ripe fruit. Hmm.

2016 Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine
France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine
Very struck match/bacon fat, meaty, dominates nose . In the mouth it's a bit citrus, juicy, lemon focussed with that struck match and plenty of texture on the mid palate and front of mouth dries things out.

2016 Jean-Jacques Vincent Pouilly-Fuissé Château de Fuissé Tête de Cru
France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Pouilly-Fuissé
Peachy, buttery, slight marzipan, sweet spice; quite rich. And equally rich on the palate; similar flavours, perhaps lacks a little freshness but kind of fun in a blousy way.

2016 Domaine Saumaize-Michelin Saint Véran
France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Saint Véran
Low intensity nose of ripe stone fruit - even with agitation not much going on for me. It's fairly anonymous on the palate and finishes bitter. Nah.
