Tasting Notes

95
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jul 10
Pale lemon-yellow color. Crushed stone, white pepper, mint, licorice, cumin, minerals and white flowers on the very ripe yet vibrant nose. Rich and broad on entry, then explosive in the middle palate, saturating the mouth without giving any impression of weight, thanks to vibrant floral and citrus flavors and penetrating acidity. A great grand cru with finishing flavors that expand to coat the palate and teeth. This seemed more tactile and voluminous after I spit it (okay, swallowed it). I don't recall a better vintage for this cuvee

Chablis

Chablis, the northernmost Burgundy region, is famed for its crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay wines. Unlike rich, oaky Chardonnays, Chablis wines, influenced by the cool climate and limestone-rich soils, feature vibrant acidity and flavours of green apple, citrus, and flint. Ideal with seafood, especially oysters, Chablis wines come in four appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru. Esteemed producers like Domaine William Fèvre, François Raveneau, and Vincent Dauvissat are known for their classic, terroir-expressive wines.
