Domaine Michel Gay et fils, Chorey-les-beaune blanc 2023.
First of the many bottles I brought back from Dijon. Good village Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune. It had been 4 years since my last white from there so I'm happy I brought back 3 of these. I wanted to open one after a week but the other 2 will stay in the cellar for a while.
Right out of the cellar at 10°C the wine was muted and it took some air and warming for it to start singing. There is hay, lemon, vanilla and tiny touch of fresh butter on the nose. The palate is rather acid driven and fresh and less broad and opulent than I expected it to be. The usual markers of chardonnay from this terroir are there: nice lemony notes, some vanilla and discreet butter on the mouthfeel, a bit of width, not much matter, some grip in the rear, a long finish with lemon, butter, some oak, some white pepper (?) And some vanilla. It goes on for about 35 seconds. At about 23 EUR bought directly from the estate it feels like a bargain in today's wine economy... — 11 days ago

I struggle w C-M but this is good. It’s just not as good as the St Aubin. 🫤 — a year ago

Close out G-C?!? Don’t mind if I do. Great concentration and depth of flavor here. Lots of currant, plum, and bruised cherry. 14 months in oak (30% new). Solid villages that doesn’t sport a nosebleed valuation. — 3 years ago

Brought this to date night at La Crem; excellent G-C, nose is superb, palate is restrained rather than explosive; started to seem a bit wooden later in the opening. Paired best with the Dover sole course — a year ago

Atypical Cote de Beaune Pinot. The raspberry is quite concentrated and dark. Not quite jam—that descriptor is too sweet—but a little like the raspberry note in a dark chocolate bar. But no chocolate. Some oak / vanilla comes through from the aging. — 3 years ago

In my constant search for the best 100% meunière, this is up there with the best, C-T Les Barres, Prevost, Bereche, Emmanuel Brochet, and the impossible find George Laval.

An exciting combination of energy and restraint. It’s not about the fruit. Very savory. — 8 years ago

2022 vintage. Most excellent lunchtime visit from the esteemed @Pinotman /// Andreas . A fave C-M plot. Premmie Cru (always nice) effort. We traced this wine through the various temps. Generous, yet balanced acidity coupled with fruit in the early, chilly going. Light-medium/medium body. Back-end oak influence that was complimentary during the visit. Never got flabby…even when it warmed up to 60+ degrees. Classically structured with phenomenal tension. No rush to crush yet drinking so well so early. Decisions…decisions. Enjoy as you will under your preferred palate/aging guidelines. There is no wrong answer here. 11 bottles left and I only can wish of having another case at my disposal. Picked up a case of this, Les Vergers and Les Caillerets after only sampling Les Vergers (9.4) from the 2022 vintage. May have lucked out on that flyer. 3.4.26. — 6 months ago

Rose petals, cherry, a bit of oak and some hay. It's been opened yesterday night, 2 glasses were taken from it and stored at room temperature with the cork screwd back on. The palate is showing gloriously right now : a radiant ripe, sweet cherry note, a strong acid backbone, some width, a silky mouthfeel, some oak notes. Some tannins kick things up in the rear before a very nice and fresh finish with cherry, again some oaky notes and that hay thing. So all three prior tasting were missing the point. This needs air (and to be served below room temperature but it's 30°C outside right now here) — 6 years ago
