Domaine du Vieux Chateau Vaillon Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013

9.3

This is the third bottle of a 4 pack. There has definitely been some bottle variation, and this is the best so far. Nose is aged Chablis; lanolin, wool, pear, mint, faint butterscotch. Texture is waxy, which is one of my favorite things that happens to aged Chablis. The acidity has tempered down; flavors of dried pear and various other dried orchard fruits, butterscotch, oolong tea, and a saline character. I think this is cresting the hill a bit, but really fascinating. I’ll probably drink the last bottle before the end of the year — 2 hours ago

Sounds really fine — I’m a huge fan of aged Chablis!

@Doug Powers ages Chablis to me has one of the most dramatic transformations in terms of flavor police of any white wine; and it doesn’t take decades. Cheers!

Columbia County 2.0: interesting drinking this day after a German Pinot, as I found them surprisingly related. A fave Beaujo producer’s Morgon, also a cooler tone & elegant. Blackberries & cassis, darker berries and a fine grittiness to integrated tannins. I like this drinking window (6 yrs) but imagine several if not more left. — 4 years ago
