  April 28, 2005 - Chablis Tasting, Rubicon Restaurant (Rubicon restaurant, San Francisco): Most taster’s wine of the flight, this was a surprise showing from a bottle that had just been brought over from Chablis by the importer. Apparently the wine is produced from 65 year old vines on Kimmeridgian soil on the Right Bank of the Serein. The wine shows a nose of tropical fruit, peach, and white flowers, and a lively palate of ripe fruit framed by good acidity. Perhaps not quite the complexity of the best Grand Cru, still this wine is drinking very nicely right now and the aromatics are quite impressive.

  April 28, 2005 - Chablis Dinner in San Francisco (Rubicon Restaurant, San Francisco): From Magnum. Jay Latham explained this AC Chablis comes from 60-year-old vines; the vineyard surrounds an old Eglise Ste. Claire. This was very floral, young, tangy, crisp, with a respectable steely finish, and absolutely delicious -- a perfect representation of AC Chablis that reminded me of a great 2002 Sancerre in its floral tones. Consensus wine of the flight by a large margin. Very hard to believe this wine is 7 years old. (9 votes for 1st, 5 votes for 2d)
