  [Tasted Double Blind] This pours electric light straw in the glass with flecks of green. The nose is just classical Chablis with moderate intensity and complexity. Aromas are of oyster liquor, seashell, white flowers, candied mint, chalk, lemon, and fresh cut kiwi. The palate is lean and linear driven by very green tinged fruit. Acid is medium plus and there is just a touch of creaminess but this is very driven by acid and crisp fruit. The finish is medium plus in length. This was quite easy to identify as Chablis, great typicity. I thought this was a 2017 or so and 1er level. I think the fact that this is bottled under Diam is causing it to age more slowly. I also think the lean, green, and linear Fevre style really comes through here as I guessed this was either Fevre or Chablisienne.

  I brought my last two bottles home to drink because I was worried about the premox issues, and I didn't want to lay them down any longer. We opened one up with a sushi dinner, and it turned out to be amazing! No issues with this bottle, and I might actually return my other bottle to my offsite storage for several more years. The 2011 Les Clos is a really nice Chablis, and this bottle had no faults. Paired very well with the sushi.

  Nice minerality and oyster shell, but while very smooth, it seemed a little flabby. Maybe my fault for drinking it on the warm side. Will try next bottle on the seriously colder side...
  
  …tried another bottle a week later - much colder, helped only a little…

  Annual holiday get-together (St. Genevieve): I felt this was showing well despite a bad food pairing with it. Saline, oyster shell, kind of a funky quality that adds interest.
