2016 Domaine Chavy-Chouet Meursault Clos des Corvees des Citeaux, France, Burgundy, Wine Review

Silvery gold in color. This has a really great nose. Clean with just a touch of oak showing. Salinity and ref apples. With air, some citrus emerges. On the palate, the apples come thru. There is underlying minerality. While the wine has a rich fat texture, it has enough acidity to work with. Good finish but there is a touch of oak/harshness. The wine seems to be drinking quite well right now, but may (or not) get a bit better. Still, it seems prudent to drink these younger. It will match well with sea food and lighter fare.

Chablis: History & Recommendations for the Great Burgundy White Wine

About 110 miles southeast of Paris, at the northern tip of the Burgundy wine region France lays Chablis. Chablis is the name of a village that has given its name to a region producing some of the best white wines in the world. The region of Chablis encompasses 19 towns and is about twenty by fifteen kilometers in size. In France, by law, wines are named after the place where they are fashioned and not the grape varietal. The wine producers of Chablis have spent hundreds of years determining which grapes produce the best wines for their soils and the answer: crisp, mineral-driven wines made from the Chardonnay grape.

This wine is in a beautiful place right now. Medium gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has grapefruit, slight orange peel, with a slight touch or caramel. Full bodied. Complex. On the palate, quince with slight grapefruit. Good acidity. Long finish. This is great on its own and would be excellent with shellfish. Though it will last long, drink in the next few years to catch at peak.

Light golden in color with slight green tinges. The nose is very nice with some lemon cream and underlying minerality. This has a nice smokiness to it and also a bit of salinity. On the palate, this is a bit fat and more acidity would be nice. That said, it has lovely lemon fruit and a nice minerality. Good finish. It would work well with some rich seafood dishes.

This is apparently mostly from younger vines but it doesn't show in this excellent Chardonnay. Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with lemons, beeswax and baking spices. Medium to full bodied. Slightly viscous in the texture. On the palate, lemons with a slight amount of oak. A bit bitter on the finish. Very refreshing. Good acidity. It will probably work better with food. Drink over the next three to five years. It will work nicely with lighter foods. Vegetarian Thai food would be a good match.

Light golden in color. The nose has some lemons, a bit of hay but a touch of oxidation as well. Not too much though. On the palate, the lemons carry thru with nice acidity. Slightly candied on the finish. This kept improving all night with air and the bit of oxidation seemed less obvious as other elements were more present. Nice finish. This worked quite well with a funghi pizza. It may improve a bit with more storage, but it seems like it should be drunk sooner than later at this point. Of course, one always worries with oxidation and white Burgundies.
