Lovely to finish a long evening.
Paired w/ shortbread w/ Macadamia nuts.
I like their craft. This is good but will ascend for 10 years.

Popped and poured; no formal notes. While the Goutorbe was ready for the business, this 2016 from Gimonnet was more of a discussion about its potential. This Special Club bottling showcases Oger and naturally, is a 100% Chardonnay BdB. I like where it’s headed, it’s just so youthful and tightly coiled. Loads of minerals and acid. Needs time. Drink after 2026 and through 2046. — 7 months ago

Photos of; Olivier and Didier Gimonnet, great grape squeeze, cellar with riddling racks and one of their sun golden vineyards. — 2 months ago
Full bodied, not heavy. Tastes of oak, like young Bordeaux. Needs a 60 minute decant. After a week with Coravin, more cherry, no oak. — 5 months ago

Yeasty smells, tart citrus bite. Concentrated and crystallized flavor. Tounge watering and then ends with chewy, yeasty goodness. — 3 days ago
