  September 23, 2022 - Having selected Raveneau Valmur of the same vintage the prior night I thought it’d be fun to compare Dauvissat’s Clos. Also with a requested pre-dinner decant, it’s fresh, classic in style, seamlessly balanced between power and elegance and highly aromatic with layers of yellow orchard fruit, citrus blossoms, beeswax and stony minerals. The palate is rich, but not as dense and textural as the Raveneau was, but shows great purity and focus with racy citrusy acids, a sea spray-like salinity and a long mineral inflicted finale. Excellent.

  January 15, 2022 - Three Chardonnays at home (Wellington, NZ): In my cellar, the bottle seemed to have a protruding cork, so I opened it that night. Drunk over three evenings, during which it barely changed. Drinking cleanly, with no faults. A Grand Cru Chablis bouquet of white flowers, fine lemon citrus, oyster shell, tide pool, some pear and a touch of spicy oak. In the mouth, classic Les Clos. Serious scale, concentration, structure and length. The flavours were chalky, wet limestone mineral, lemon and grapefruit citrus, iodine and sea breeze. No oak artefact. Long finish with lovely salinity. Relatively open and accessible, yet still fairly young and primary, ideally hold until about 2025.
