Chablis Chardonnay 2017

9.2

OMG 2017 Chablis, what a vintage you are!!

Nose has slightly grassy notes, sweet pineapple core and wet, crushed limestone.
Palate has very zingy lime, lime flesh, tart green apple, lemon peel and drying mineral dust. Medium-long finish.

Decanted only about 30m, more time needed.
We're enjoying our first fire in the chimenea on this cool late summer evening, just one of many to come the rest of the year.

24 Hour Update: Acidity has subsided, wet limestone is more prominent, pineapple notes are more core and less sweetness today. I knew this just needed more time to come around, fantastic. — 5 days ago

Have you had many 2017 White Burgs to see if the comparison continues further south? ‘14 an absolute favorite of mine for whites!

@Michael Herzog I do own a bunch of 17 Burg, some is at the house, some on pre-arrival still. Haven't opened anything aside from Chablis for 17. Likely I'll wait until at least '20 before I get to them.

@Michael Herzog 17 >>> 14 because more depth and fruit and better balance. 14 doesn’t have the depth. It has acid but is not aging as well as I thought. 17 is overall better.
