Community Tasting Note

  May 13, 2016 - This was nice, but too young. Had an amalgam cork, showed zero signs of premox. Fairly classic Chablis in the making here, with grass, stones, good fruit and balance, but a bit dull for current drinking.

  8/13/16, 12:59 PM - The amalgam cork is a 'Diam' cork...before they assemble the cork, they A) remove all cork taints (same process as to decaffeinate coffee) and B) the corks are assembled so the oxygen transmission will be on the low side compared to 'natural' corks (also, the oxTrans is quite uniform from cork to cork). A lot of white burg producers have switched to Diam due to premox. It appears that wines evolve a bit more slowly under Diam, due to the lower oxTrans (I assume), and I've yet to see anyone report a premoxed Fevre that was closed with a Diam...hoping this will lead to more and/or a 'real' premox solution.
