Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2010

Fabulous stuff. This is so complex and delicious. Oyster shells. Soft lemon, stone, light salinity. Profound and long and delicious with none of the overbaked qualities of some 2010’s. Spectacular. — 21 days ago

The bouquet is sooooo intoxicating, melting you from all directions with orange and apple blossoms, peach and nectarine nectar, jasmine, shortbread, lemon pledge, limeade, oyster shells and ocean spray, and crushed gravel

On the palate a spectrum of citrus lasers meld w that juicy dripping peach flesh ~ riding that long acidic and saline finish ~ WOW!

Citrus, crushed shells and vanilla. Very very pleasant and quite serious as well. A little young but why not? — 3 years ago

Deep golden color with a citrus undertone and distinct minerality, if not oyster shells. Delightfully pleasant wine. — a year ago

Feeling Lucky?

Despite the premox issues plaguing these early 2000s Fèvres, I held on to my 3 bottles for proper aging. My bottles were going to hit their prime drinking window or die trying

DAY1
Served with the Vinloq System
Golden color. No browning
👃Honeyed pineapple, citrus, jasmine tea
👅Where r the oyster shells and minerality? Oily texture. Nice. 9.1 pts

Stored the bottle in my fridge with Vinloq Preservation

DAY8
👃Aromas change with each sniff
👅Buttery, spicy citrus. Slate minerality. Feels <17 yrs old. Complex. Finishes dry & salty. DAY8 better than DAY1
9.2pts

I am 2 for 2 with no premox! 1 bottle to go and I am feeling lucky 🍀

Bonneau du Martray

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2005

Double decant and pour. A wondrous lite golden straw color. On the nose: a subdued nose of pear, pineapple, oyster shells, pine, nutty vanilla. Taste: A chalky, oily, layered wine with lemon-lime, apple, limestone, peach, and a mineral dried coconut medium plus finish. YUM!! — 2 years ago
