Saturday, May 8, 2021 - The Gang Drinks Blind (Mesa Verde Country Club in the OC): First of two. Have not had this cuvee previously but I am a devoted fan of the L-B wines so this is now part of my journey with them. 100% Chardonnay, farmed biodynamic from two old vine (roughly 50-60 year old) plots in Avize, grown on chalk. 56 months on the lees, raised in wood with 2 grams of dosage, disgorged March 2018. Drank over two nights. On the first evening, this showed juicy with lemon, mint, gentle in tone with peach, orange, yellow apple and ginger. Shows some of the chalk in the finish but it seems pretty integrated into the wine to me. On the second night, which was the last few ounces that had gone still, the wine shows a lime pith and touch of oxidation in the aroma. But what I can finally now assess pretty well is the fruit composition. Lots of pear, reminding me of the bartlett pear that used to come in the can that I ate s a kid. Yellow apple, fresh squeezed lime, kiwi and nectarine. Overall, this drank wonderfully when still and my opinion is that this is in a very good place right now to drink and enjoy.
