  France Planning Dinner & Burgs (Bucheron, MPls): Light gold color. Drank a glass over an hour. My backup for the '10 Droin Les Clos. This was my first bottle of any of the '07 Defaix's and it did not disappoint. This has grand cru weight and power, with tons of briny ocean and limestone on the palate, deep lemon-lime fruit and some honeycomb. The palate is deep and filled with oyster shell, saline, swampy earth, tart lemon, and lemon-lime with lots of dry extract. 93+ to 94pts.

  13% alkohol. Druer fra PC-vinmarken Les Lys, som ligger sørøst-vendt og er plantet i jordsmonnet Kimmeridgian med kompakte lag av kalkstein og og myk leire-mergel. Lagret på bunnfall i 18 mnd. med gjentatt bâttonnage.
  Smoky og mineralsk. Med tid åpner den seg mer og viser friske, gule sitroner. Slank med bra syrlighet, og finish som blir lenger og lenger med luft.
  Fortsatt mange gode år igjen!

  This is really special Chablis. With air and some time in the glass, it is approaching Grand Cru weight and breadth. Almost at room temp, it is sublime. Killer with an apricot and fried brie salad.

  Quite lovely nose with richer / lactic character along with lemon, minerals, and apple. Good acidity with more lemon notes, riper fruit, and good balance on the palate. Nice finish. Very well made, perfectly aged Chablis. The nose in particular was lovely!

  Burgundy Paulée with the Chevaliers du Tastevin (Chez Mike, East Greenbush, NY): Interesting. Minerals and spice on the nose. Seems quite youthful. Must have been well-stored. Lovely.
