(Domaine Costal Chablis Les Truffières, Burgundy) What happens when a great domaine (Jean Collet) with a rare surplus of juice teams up with a talented winemaker (Bernard Raveneau) and a smart businessman (Kermit Lynch)? A miracle of amazing-value Chablis. This wine is already a classic, with aromatics of limestone, wet rock, and tart citrus. On the palate, it has a profound attack; the texture alone will keep you awake and sharp-witted all day. Complex, bone-dry flavors of minerals and raw almonds dance on the palate. It's beautifully balanced and medium-bodied, with a lingering finish. Hot Picks

Another excellent bottle. In a great place right now (yes, my tummy and liver). Sorry, meaning "at peak".

Showing full maturity right now. Not sure I would have necessarily nailed it as Chablis, but this is quite good. A bit of tropical pineapple dominates and accentuates the mature aspect. Kudos to the Somm Journal notes attached below to give some history on this!

Looks like Christie Dufault (Somm Journal, see below) was the only one tasting the same wine I enjoyed yesterday. It has softened up nicely with some age on it. But it still has a lot in the tank yet. Really nice wine!

More 2007 Chablis, Including Fevre Les Clos (Vin Vino, Palo Alto): Pineapple notes. Round and rick with orange blossoms, a mint undertone, good acidity but not very minerally at this point. Built for the short term. Apparently, the winemaker is a young protege of Raveneau.
