Chablis from a good producer in a warm year can produce some interesting contradictions. It’s not got a lot of weight or body but feels quite rich. Some honey/beeswax on the nose and that sort-of-green undefinable flavor/terroir marker Chablis has. I think I bought a case and this felt sort of confused and heavy for the past couple of years (as young whites in warm years often do) but it’s starting to hit its stride. Serious wine despite the Chablis AOC on the label — 2 days ago

Absurdly delicious. A beautiful expression of the south of France. Joy in a glass. Refreshment and pleasure; just enough richness. — 2 days ago
One of those unicorn wines. Just a unique wine made of blend of varietals. Mostly Cab but some Pinot in there too. 2003 gives it a brickish color. Gorgeous wine with lively fruit and good acidity; lingering on the palate. “Daumas Gassac apparently has a geological formation unique in the Languedoc: chalky, friable, poor in humus, the bits of earth ranging in size from mere grains of sand to little stones, a soil similar in aspect, similar in constitution, to that of the Côte d’Or and the Italian Friuli.” Excerpt from Adventures of The Wine Route. — 2 months ago

Light yellow in color.
Strong nose of citrus, lemons, apples and minerals.
Medium bodied with medium acidity and medium sized bubbles.
Dry on the palate with lemons, green apples, limes, spices, light yeast and minerals.
This 14 year old Vintage Champagne is showing nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Feels young, especially on the nose. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years, and see how it evolves.
A blend of equivalent portions of 6 grapes including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Blanc. Disgorged in February 2022.
12% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
