July 25, 2023 - In magnum. Fortunately, not premox. Opened for a special occasion, a friend became a grandfather.
I love this era when those grand crus were made with fully matured grapes, and pressed slowly but very hard. This wine indeed has a fabulous level of dry extract, an intense yellow color; almond milk, pastry scents, citrus and yellow fruits burst in the glass, followed by a rich mouthfeel combining lemon oils and yellow summer fruits, framed in chalky acids, ending long in a supremely elegant finish. After two hours of air, it became more focused, dryer yet retaining all the richness, with a razor sharp and more persistent finish. Everybody loved it at the table. -

November 3, 2017 - Relaxing Saturday Lunch @ Mizuki (Mizuki, Ngee Ann City): This will be a world-beater one day. Today, it is as much about potential as it is about pure enjoyment, but boy what a truly great wine it is even now. The nose was gentle but insistent, with waves of almond nut, white peach and melon, all drizzled with just a touch of buttery aromas at the sides. Wow. It was on the palate where this really shone though. This was beguiling - an iron fist in a velvet glove. So powerful and strong, but just so wonderfully precise and focused, with a ringingly pure expression of white fruit tinged with citrus pips, and then a tremendously long mineral finish that completely coated the back-palate and simply refused to let go. Beautifully integrated already, yet with a ton in reserve in its creamily powerful depth - this was an amazing mouthful. A true Chavelier with its elegance and purity, yet one that has its best years decades ahead of it. A real legend in the making, and one of the best white wines I have had in a long time.
