  July 25, 2009 - Domaine de Montille dinner - Confrerie des Chevalier du Tastevin, Singapore (Harbour Grill, Hilton Hotel): Not a bad Chardonnay as Chardonnays go. Not even a bad Burg - but just lacking in Chablis character. Sure, there was a chalky minerality and some stones on the nose, but that was laced through with tons of ripe notes - sweet lemons, honey, honeysuckle, toasty flavours and, with some time in the glass, the slightest hint of premox with dried apricots and peaches showing up. The palate showed the warm wash of alcohol from the attack, along with ripe red apples and some iodine notes. Good acidity for a 2006, but a little disjointed at first, with a some tartness sticking out awkwardly. With time, the wine came into balance, and showed better, with some gunpowder and mineral and bready tones moving into a satisying finish. Lacks interest and typicity though.
