Had loads of citrus on the nose along with oyster shell and mint. It was direct and detailed, rich and engaging. There was great texture and build and serious grapefruit cut to the long finish.

Dinner at home (Chicago, IL): Fantastic bottle of Dauvissat -- such a frustratingly inconsistent producer with bottles showing weird so often. But this bottle -- wow. Quintessence of Chablis. Salty, minerally, lemon zest. That's it. That's the note.
At the River Cafe. From the very beginning, clearly a high quality producer and a well made wine. Initially the acidity and minerality dominate all other elements. As it warmed up and had some time with air, the nose opened up with much more fruit and floral notes. Body was thinner than expected throughout.

Found this on a restaurant list for less than retail, so had to jump on the opportunity to try this for the first time. Opened at cellar temp, chilled, then consumed after ~1 hour of slow ox. I know it would be far ahead of its time, but boy - this is truly infanticide to drink this right now. It is very pleasant today with a swath of classic chablis character and it's clearly hinting at a beautiful, layered future, but at present I found this quite thin and lacking the distinction and weight I typically associated with Clos.
