Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 8, 2010 - Grand Blanc at Aquarelle French Restaurant (Austin, Texas): From a Chablis to a CC, what a transition! But this, like the Chablis, came together with food. Initially austere and a little young (it was in magnum), it had good acidity and minerality and was slightly imbalanced for awhile. As it developed in the glass, it withdrew its sharp edges, gained some spice and butter notes, and began pulling much flavor, especially of minerals and honey. It matched up great with a salmon tartare crostini. The magnum needed more time.
