Chablis

Medium golden in color.  The nose has green apples with a slight chalkiness.  On the palate, there is a slight gun powder note with tart lemons.  Plush texture.  Slightly yeasty.  Is this barrel fermented?  An interesting take on Chablis that I very much enjoyed.  Seemed to be love or hate it at the table.  It does seem a bit advanced for its age.  If this bottle was representative, it probably should be consumed in the next five years.  

Silvery/green/gold in color.  The nose has gun powder, slight lemons on a medium intensity nose.  On the palate, this has a slick texture.  Chalk and minerals with slight green apple flavors.  Good acidity.  Nice finish.  Drinking well now and a bit leaner (in a good way) than many of the 2015's.  It should be good drinking for at least the next decade.  It should go well with seafood and lighter salads.  

Silvery gold in color.  The nose is initially quiet with slight gun powder.  That becomes more pronounced with air and in addition, some green apples.  On the palate, this is slightly oily in texture.  Tart lemon-lime flavors.  Juicy acidity.  It does seem riper in style for a Chablis.  This is still young and should continue to come together for the next few years and be good for a decade more after that.  

Light green/gold in color.  The nose is tight at first.  It turns dusty with some lemon.  With more air a bit of gun powder shows up.  Better on the palate.  This is oily with a round texture.  Nice minerality.  Good finish.  Those I tasted with liked this relative to the other wines, more than I.  It is not as crisp as the other Chablis and drinks more like it was from Cote de Beaune (which might not be a bad thing).  This might get a bit better but I wouldn't count on it.  That said, it should easily last a decade.  I will be great with shellfish and other seafood.  

Light golden/green in color.  Lovely nose of flint with slight green apples.  A big nose over all.  In the palate, this has a slightly oily texture.  Great acidity.  Slight green apples with lots of minerals.  Long finish.  This was my WOTN at a recent blind tasting of Chablis although the group had it in 4th place.  Still young, this should continue to evolve and mature for the next decade and be good for another decade or more after that.  It will pair well with seafood, salads and other lighter foods.  

A stunning wine if still a bit young.  In a day when Grand Cru Burgs are priced crazily, this is about the best one that is almost affordable.  It certainly is not your typical Chablis in profile either.  Golden in color.  Not dark but not light either.  No noticeable oxidation.  The nose has peaches, slight chalk and a bit of pepper/spice.  On the palate, the peaches carry thru over a concentrated minerality.  Great round texture.  Good acidity but not bracing.  Nice finish.  In general, this is a big round wine that is just delicious.  Went well with St.

Chablis continues to be an excellent source or white Burgundy especially when considering the price and the premox issues.  While Chablis is not immune on either issue, it is a bit better on both.  This is a newer-ish producer making some great wines and reasonable pricing.  Light silvery gold in color.  The nose is very nice with green apples and chalk.  Very clean.  On the palate, those flavors continue with a nice depth and complexity.  Very nice acidity.  Some grapefruit as well.  Long finish.  This will work great with salads and sea foods but also with fowl dishes.  It really does beg

This is drinking quite well.  At a time when Burgundy prices are soaring and the "best" producers are unaffordable, Chablis still offers the ability to get a great wine.  The question is how long will this continue.  Light green/silver with a slight gold in color.  The nose is pretty classic with crushed shells, chalk and green apples.  On the palate, this has a much creamier texture and more rounded than expected.  Presumably that is due to barrel fermentation and a bit higher alcohol levels.  No matter, it still has a nice green apple and mineral flavor set with is quite refreshing and de

Excellent wine that really needs some time.  Lots of upside potential here.  Light golden in color.  The nose is fat (for Chablis) with red fugi apples over a nice chalky base.  On the palate, this has a soft texture with good if not great acidity.  It is delicious.  Lots going on with tight layers of complexity.  Long finish.  Perhaps not a classic sort of Chablis, yet, it is an outstanding chardonnay.  

This is an outstanding Chablis that shows the vintage very well.  Lean yet, powerful.  Light silvery/gold in color.  The nose is classic with green apples.  Nice minerality too.  On the palate, this broadens across the palate, yet has nice green apple notes with good acidity.  An underlying minerality too.  It presents almost as two styles at the same time.  Delicious though.  Will work with lighter foods, seafood and poultry dishes.  Still young and has some upside.
