Domaine Coche-Dury (J.F. Coche Dury)

Meursault Chardonnay 2022

Medium straw with green reflexes . Quite creamy , toasty on the nose at first , lemon pith and some yellow fruits, light herbal hints , chalky notes after a while . Quite rounded and generous on the palate but with great balance . Fresh acidity , good extract . Good length , with lightly toasty finish . Still quite lean and detailed but with a pleasing richness . Good lemon tinged , stony length. Drinking quite well now , but this is pretty young will age quite well , probably better in 3-5 years and last well a further 3-5 . At Auberge de L’ill in Illhaeusen. — 11 days ago

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 1990

Cork broke into two pieces, but got the bottom 1/3 carefully using a standard French waiter, no cork was left in the bottle. Color looks quite youthful for a 36-year-old Grand Cru Chablis, initially some SO2/matchstick aromas, but they blew off quickly. Followed by lemon, mineral, flavors are similar, perfect, lively acidity, great persistence and length, for Chablis I suppose 1990 was a warmer vintage (13.5% ABV), but this bottle is amazing and almost perfect, WOW!!’ — a month ago

No number rating but maybe that’s because a wine like this transcends any attempt to reduce it to a number!

@Tom Casagrande, I guess the app didn’t agree with the rating I gave it when I posted — I fixed it. Annoyed

The anxiety of letting this bottle rest that long would have killed me long ago! But damn what a payout!

Domaine Leflaive

Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2004

More or less the same aspect as the Pucelles, medium gold in colour . A lot more reserved and younger on the nose , more linear and mineral , seashell, light lemon and some white flowers . This is discreet , at least on the nose , on the palate however this is intense but linear and focused , with a touch of lemon oil , but mostly chalky mineral , seashell notes , long vibrant length . Really fresh and vital though there is good mouthfeel , just a hint of toastiness on the finish . Long and fine , fresh and still young . From now and over the next 5- 10 years . Also a late release from the domaine , with wax capsule and Diam cork. — 2 months ago

The color has darkened but it’s still vibrant. The oak is stronger but the lemon isn’t gone and it’s got notes of pear and toast. — 18 days ago

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2008

Full golden color in the glass. It leads with dried pineapple and maybe dried apricot, with a lot of intensity on the nose. The palate confirms it, adding a slight spicy note with a surprising bit of phenolic grip and enough acidity to balance, though it has gone clearly past its prime. — 2 months ago

Few bubbles in the glass. Bruised golden apple, golden pear, slightly reductive / sherry-like. Reminded me a lot of the Peter Lauer 1987 Riesling sekt, but with fewer bubbles. An interesting but not crowd-pleasing Champagne. @ Persona, Stockholm — 12 days ago

Domaine Leflaive

Les Pucelles Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2004

Medium gold . Quite rich and decadent on the nose with buttered popcorn , light toasty hints , lemon confit , orange rind , hints of chalk underneath . There is a light nuttiness , too so certainly showing some age . On the palate this has good intensity and grip , slightly advanced perhaps (certainly older than the Chevalier) , with buttered toast , touch of caramel and lemon rind , hint of bitterness on the palate . Quite high bracing acidity and enough freshness on the finish . I would drink this now and over the next few years , though there may be fresher bottles out there . Re released from the domaine in 2019, with wax capsule and Diam cork. — 2 months ago
