Community Tasting Notes 10

    February 21, 2021 - Retail $33. 100% Chardonnay. This is the fourth bottle of seven that I have cracked and this is easily the best thus far. Now I know a bit about bottle variation, but this is close to ridiculous. Brilliant straw in the glass, with faint citrus (lime, lemon curd) and white acacia flower, but the star of the show, as with many a Chablis, is the steely minerality. The palate is surprisingly a tad round but with much more fruit than I found on the nose. By the mid palate, the acidity kicks in and carries the wine all the way to the finish. Lovely.

    October 31, 2020 - Retail $33. 100% Chardonnay. While the notes are consistent with the last bottle we tried, I am a bit less enthralled here, if only slightly. I guess I need to get to the rest of these soon? thedrunkencyclist.com

    April 7, 2019 - Retail $33. 100% Chardonnay. I picked these up from Last Bottle even though I had sworn off Burgundy for all the premature oxidation issues I have encountered. But I figured that popping this early (relatively) would avoid all that (and the issue has been far less prevalent in Chablis, for whatever reason). Dark in the glass. Ruh roh, here we go again. My wife tried to convince me that it was more "golden." Uh huh. Happily, a surprise: a tropical nose of guava and pineapple. Subtle fruit on the palate, great tartness, admirable finish. Nice. thedrunkencyclist.com

    November 21, 2018 - Beau Chablis, ample et gras avec une légère
    amertume. Assez droit et long...avec le temps
    sera excellent.
