Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2016

Lovely medium-weight Chablis 1er Cru, some spice and mineral aromas and flavors, long finish, I’m guessing 3-5 more years of improvement ahead, very fine!! — a day ago

La Forest Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2022

9.2

Continuing quest to taste as many 22’s as possible.

Beautiful honeysuckle notes, Meyer lemon and spring flowers on the nose.

The palate show a good presence of Meyer lemon right at the top. Butterscotch notes, honeysuckle-honey comb, apricots, yellow peach, ripe, syrupy pineapple, cream, slivered almonds, saline, flinty notes, limestone marl, toast, some soft white spices, lots of moist to mushy chalk, yellow & spring flowers, excellent, round acidity and a well made, elegant, round, lush, finish that lasts 90 seconds landing on spice & minerals.

This will merit another point of two with appropriate age but still hard to justify $240 a bottle. The strong lemon presence needs time to calm.

Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2015

From magnum this wine was fresh, crisp, mineral, with delightful aromatics reminiscent of citrus. While perfect for the meal being consumed, I was more measured in my assessment of a score! — 2 months ago

Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2018

Nose: elegant density. Lemon flower. White flowers. Complex. As this opens mushrooms.

Palate: some gras. Mineral. Some green apple.

Séchet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017

Nose: elegant mushroom. Beautiful.

Palate: silky. Lemon flower. Subtly vibrant. Contained richness as this opens. A hint of spice.

Fine and filigreed.

Not super seashelly. Might guess chassagne blind.
