(Long-Depaquit Chablis La Moutonne) More of a tasting recollection as I’ve slept since drinking it! Medium-pale gold. The nose is classic seashore with a hint of savoury that could be an accent from a little barrel ferment. In the mouth there’s none of that blousy thing going on that some 2006’s show: it’s linear, mineral and rather savoury and also a beautiful wine with or without food - it was followed by a Girardin 2003 Corton-Charlemagne that was clearly more gregarious; richer and showing an extra dimension in the mid-plate (good wine) yet was less successful during dinner - perhaps and hint more of acidity could have helped the Corton. I can currently buy the Moutonne at 60% the cost of the Fevre Le Clos, and about the price of a good maker’s village Puligny - a very nice and good value bottle.
(Long-Depaquit Chablis La Moutonne) The nose is deeper, rounder and more forward. Full-packed and well textured without being too fat. The fruit could have a little more focus and width but with a long, very mineral finish.

Musique & Vin - Dîner de Gala - Dixième Edition du Festival (Château du Clos de Vougeot): Very ripe for Chablis, with faint tropical fruit hints, but also very impressive concentration and enough energy on finish for good+ balance and finesse.

Winos' excellent adventure in France; 6/22/2017-6/27/2017 (All over France): Very little acidity, a bit cloying and simple for a GC chablis.

Wines Tasted at HDH Auction; 2/19/2016-2/20/2016 (Tru Restaurant - Chicago IL): Small glass, brief note. Very tasty with clear Grand Cru concentration. Wonderful fruit, still very fresh. But very ripe and slightly tropical, so I wouldn't have thought Chablis if served blind.
