Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

I know this was in the midst of a Confrerie dinner (crazy one), but I believe this was post No. 1000!

Confrerie Des Chevaliers du Tastevin Sous-Commanderie d'Albany, Annual Pauleé Dinner; 30 September 2018 at Vintage House NY, Albany, NY

Cut like a diamond 💎

Young, bright and tangy. The acid on this one leads me to believe it will improve over decades.

This is how I "Christmas" @Stephen Osgood you mad or naw?

2012: Ordered from the wine list at Chez Panisse, so the context behinds there. Silky lemon water was the first impression, which isn't unexpected from youthful Chablis. Citrus notes developing on the nose, and the palate also became more alluring. By the last sip a slightly tangy lemony custard revealed itself, so all in all a great choice to begin the meal.

Abstract and old cheese on it's own but really showed with black truffle pasta.

Wonderful acidity and minerality. Crisp an clean.

Wine number two from last night #chablis #chardonnaygrownonlimestone

Ripe, generous, open. Still Dauvissat salinity minus the ripping tension
