Notes of plum, earth, soy sauce. I thought tannins were still fairly pronounced but not rough. Lovely pairing with our smoked abalone and black cod….. — 2 years ago

51% CF, 49%ME. Enjoyed the wine & blend. For me, these wines are a bit rough when young but smooth out nicely with age. — 3 years ago

Côte de Léchet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2022

Matthew Cohen

9.4

A rough day. So which wine will never disappoint? Dampt Cote de lechet.

Nose: lovely. A green apple skin mineral perfume. White flowers get this to 94.

Palate: sweet green apple. Salty. Mineral. Utterly delicious. This is not the acid driven hammer that 21’was but it’s in the range of being as good.

Not flawed but just not great. Sometimes the vintage reports are correct. 2004 is not one to seek out. It’s oddly somewhat similar to how they are talking about 2021 Bordeaux, another rough vintage. — 7 months ago

Drinking with Mom and Dad for Christmas 2022. Doing a side-by-side with their standard 2019. Color is also garnet, but more brown around the edges than its younger pair. Legs are also more intense, and the nose is so much more powerful. The dark leather, the tobacco, the currant, and the cacophony almost smacks your nose. The berries seem to have mellowed into the darker bouquet of elemental scents. Much smoother than its younger pair, the bright juice is now a wave of those foundational scents. The flavor lingers longer, it has a subtle transformation that holds onto your tongue, in place of that rough sandpaper feeling you are left with in the younger, you are left with something like the feeling of wiping off perspiration, being cool and dry, but with the endless flow from within that doesn't leave you gasping for water. Truly one of the best of this appellation I have ever had. Would drink again, although it was $69 at Blanchards. — 2 years ago
