Community Tasting Note

Montesquieu Likes this wine:

Thursday, December 9, 2021 - Decided to purposefully enjoy my first bottle of Vin Jaune with two good friends and the pairing of quality cheese. For cheese, we had on hand DiBruno Brothers' aged Gruyere (great pairing) and Adarre (goat/sheep mix). The Chalon was decanted 1.5 hours before first sip, which emphasized its sharp flavors of oxidation, like a smoky fino sherry. It became beautifully smooth as it warmed to room temperature and our mouths were repeatedly coated with the salt and fat of the cheese. Terrific experience, though not calibrated against other Vin Jaunes.
