November 1, 2021 - {3 or 4 cases bought on release; about 8 or 10 left} Complex, rich flavors without the keen, knife-like acidity of a young Chablis but still has edge. The depth and complexity of this 15-year old wine is a revelation, since so many of us are drinking our premier cru Chablis early to avoid the disappointments of premature oxidation (premox). If your bottles are well stored I think this wine will go another 5 years. [Note based on 3 or 4 bottles in the last 2 months, the latest being the reported tasting date].

11/22/21, 3:15 PM - Thanks for your excellent tasting note, it was spot on! I did detect a note of what appeared to be oxidation upon opening. However, 24 hours of aeration in the re-corked bottle revealed a lovely wine more akin to a Côte d’Or white Burg than Chablis. This 2006 was tasted side by side with the Dauvissat 2004 ‘La Forest’ which showed much better Chablis typicity.
