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! — 3 months ago
Domaine Jean Dauvissat Pere & Fils
Chablis Chardonnay 2020
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 — 11 days ago

La Forest Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2022
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. — 3 months ago

Coming into to it's own from the early years, this Grand Crú Chablis does not disappoint. Oyster shell, citrus zest and green apple if not hint of pear. Will give it a year before visiting her sisters — 10 days ago
