Eight Burgundies at a Confrerie wine tasting at the French Embassy (Wellington, New Zealand): Colour watery, worryingly some cloudiness. Relatively dumb nose, some lemon, peach, wet stone and chalk. Juicy and rounded. Marmaladey, a little flabby, lacking precision, focus and energy. Rounded, with stone fruit and some tropical fruit flavours, lacking a mineral core and, crucially, the acids expected at this level. Also suggestions from others that this may be oxidised. Whatever, not a great Chablis. This is what I worry about with 2006 Chablis.

Sampled at a wine tasting. Aromas of citrus, lemons and oak. Vanilla and spice on the palate with a long lasting finish. This wine has a great structure.

Saved as a birth-year-wine. No premox, no flaws. But an unexceptional Chablis, for sure.
