December 29, 2023 - Like all good 14 Chablis 15-20 mins open and the experience and wine begin to blossom.
December 9, 2023 - Golden yellow color. Rounded with a nice slate and marine character. Mild acidity, present but not prominent. Salinity nicely hits the back of the mouth! In a great place. Very traditional.
August 30, 2023 - At Crows Nest in Montauk. A treat! Vibrant and fresh. One of the reasons 14s stand out to me as the vintage in whites for the 2000s.
August 3, 2023 - Lite and delicious , ideal summer wine. Dined at Aphotic SF, perfect wine for their 10 course seafood menu . Skate dish was unreal! Dinner with GG & JF.
August 29, 2022 - What a SUPER wine to take to the beach! This bottle was firing on all cylinders...rich and creamy GC weight with shimmering gold and green tinge of ocean goodness! Classic crushed oyster shell, sea air, chalky limestone, tart lime...has that wonderful dry extract...little wax...pretty white flower florals...dried honey...SCREAMS Chablis! Killer bottle!
March 20, 2022 - ESTG Northern Rhône: Mmm, love this, such perfect energy and clarity. Absolutely delicious, mineral, citric, deep, perfectly in balance.
June 8, 2021 - Grand Cru intensity and weight through and through. Effusive nose with deep, concentrated green apple, mineral and spice aromas. Palate has gorgeous, round orchard fruit with crystalline minerals. Bright, crisp cut provides balance and a mouthwatering finish.
May 22, 2020 - Drinking so nice right now
March 28, 2020 - I opened this too soon. In case you have bottle in yous cellar, keep it there at least 3-5 years.
January 8, 2020 - 2014 Burgundy Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): A lovely drop, but way too young - this was one of the more backward of the 2014 whites on the night. It had a beautifully perfumed nose even now though, with a hint of sweet red raspberries hovering around a citrus core of lemons and spice, these riding alongside classic aromas chalk and saline mineral. Lovely stuff - characteristically Chablis, with a bit of a ripe touch to it. That ripeness carried on to the palate as well, It was noticeably rich and sweet for a Les Preuses, with notes of pineapples and those little red berries again, but these were underlined with tons of bright, juicy acidity and a muscular seam of chalk minerality - all these coming together to give the wine a really nice shape and profile. It had maybe less intensity than one would expect from a top-notch Chablis Grand Cru from 2014, but there was certainly no lack of depth and breadth here. There was a lovely sense of definition and focus too, all the way into a finish of wonderfully effortless length, where Chablis' chalky minerality came to the fore again. A really nice drop, but all still rather tight at the moment, with some elements still hovering around in the background needing time to coax them out. I would love to try this in again when it really hits it slide, probably sometime between 2025-2028.
