A perfect Monday evening sipper, with fresh and salivating yellow citrus and white melon rind notes that hop around the palate, finishing with a soft limestone flavor that adds interest. There's…
Similar to last year. The 2017 has more punch and tension next to this 2018 - not surprising given the comparative vintage characteristics. This still has enough speed, freshness, and grip to keep…
A gorgeous and punchy Chablis, with notable gravitas that extols its 1er cru class with confident depth and sophistication. The weight here is perfectly balanced with the lemon juice and Squirt…
This is a beautiful bottle of wine, but the house style here still continues to perplex me just a bit, as I find it to come off as a more strict interpretation of a Grand Cru Chablis. Nothing wrong…
Plum, earthy strawberry, rhubarb, and black cherry skin flavors fool you into believing they will come off too broad and rich, but the script is quickly flipped and the execution veers toward a more…
An interesting expression of Chardonnay, with more mature and somewhat oxidized notes of apricot, grilled lemon, and olive oil. Holds just enough freshness to provide lift for the more brassy…
(AKA: Michel Briday?). Strawberry, citrus spray, and rhubarb notes are conveyed in a medium dry delivery from a simple but inviting flavor profile. A yeasty hit fills out the back end without…
Same as last year. A fuller version when compared to the 2017, but quite flavorful and fun. Lemon and white melon notes play well with a faint infusion of vanilla and white rock. Super smooth but…
Struck matchstick reduction dominates, with lemon drop, cantaloupe rind, and white peach pushing to get attention. Broad shouldered and slightly clunky right now; unresolved and looking to find a…
Bright and fresh lemon juice, citrus spray, and wet limestone notes present in a clean and semi-succulent delivery (succulent by Louis Michel standards). Compared to the wound tight and somewhat…
From the same stable as the Domaine Pinson harem, this version is bright and clean, with a pure delivery of yellow citrus and white melon rind flavors that are accessible and friendly. Energy and…
Quintessential Chablis, with lemon and white stone notes encircled by citrus zest, white melon rind, unripe green pear, and lemon verbena. Perfect zip and energy with a finish that outclasses its…
Enjoyable, agreeable, and all that friendly handshaking kind of stuff. It's yellow, it's lemony, it's what you would expect from a base model Chardonnay. I did not find it as particularly interesting…
This punches way above its class, illustrating why the Vincent Dauvissat name is so heralded for its top-shelf Chablis. The fact that this Petit Chablis carries the levels of concentration,…
Still pretty spun up and primary. Linear shots of green apple skin don't expand much into anything especially deep or complex. This is a high quality, pure, and refreshing wine in its current state,…
Starts out with lemon drop and lemon square succulence, but quickly becomes noticeably angular on the finish. After extended aeration, a gummy saccharine texture coats the palate. There is goodness…
Continues to impress. For the price and its class, this little Chablis is stupid good in 2017. It's got zip and acid, lemony succulence, and enough tension and intensity to hold the whole package…
Yellow, white, and green citrus notes, with a spunky entry of lemon-lime zest, wet white rock, unripe white peach, seafoam, and hints of vanillin oak. Worthy of its 1er cru designation, with medium…
Boy was thing this spun up. A high rider that refused to come down off the ledge. This particular bottle was screaming, "Get bent and piss off." Vanilla booze, bright red cherry water, and raw…
At the French Laundry. A solid producer from a solid site makes for a worthy Meursault and a perfect complement to the food. Succulent yellow citrus, spritely green, yellow, and white stone fruit,…
Earthy and funky black cherry flavors dolphin their way in and out of waves of furry tannins, further warming the palate with plum, allspice, and faint burnt orange rind notes. Finishes slightly…
At the French Laundry. Lemon seed, yellow and white citrus, and chalk flavors dart from the glass, with a linear, Pinot Grigio-esque profile that is leaner than what I typically want from a 1er P-M.…
I've spat out a bunch of information on this wine already, but I continue to go back to it every time even though I know it needs time to become even more complex. Still, this is a refreshing Chablis…
I truly dig this wine. I love the electricity and the supreme focus here. It is chiseled and detailed without being sterile and continues to offer so much zippy pleasure. Squirt, lemon-lime juice and…
Lemony goodness that is barely nipping at the heels of 1er Cru quality. It's clean and fresh as expected but has some character to find - if it can. I'm happy with the bit of zip it offers on the…
