This is my entrance into the world of Chablis. Don't know how it took me so long, but I've also never seen Top Gun 🤷‍♂️ This wine has a supple mouthfeel despite it's bright acidity on the back of my tongue. Flavors of lemon and peach, with plenty of minerality on the finish. Thanks to my friends who gave recommendations- this is the first one from your lists that I found locally. Sorry we took over your comment section, @Doug Powers !

It took me a good 8 to 10 years into my wine tasting and discovery journey to start liking and appreciating oxydative wines (sous voile) from jura. But now I like them more and more every time. Something in the mouthfeel which is unmistakable...
The nose is very oxydative with walnuts, bruised apples... The palate is superlative. A huge acid drive, great width, a dusty, buttery mouthfeel, some subtle nutty touches along with apple, before a massive, spherical and buttery mid palate that powers up an extremely long finish with butter, nutty notes and a nice freshness that makes it really great. It's clearly not for everybody but it's very much for me 😅 — 2 years ago

Tar, cedar, cigar, toasty notes and black currant on the nose. Wow that's intense. The palate is made of that superb blackcurrant note, a massive acid backbone, some nice width and a grainy, dusty mouthfeel that expands in mid palate with a drying layer of tannins that powers a very long finish with blackcurrant, these consistent toasty notes, that grain and a slightly bitter note that grows in the end. That's aristocratic, that's intense, that's beautiful and that's all that I like in Bordeaux. It was still a bit hard at first but opened up nicely after 2 hours. Could be even better after some more air. Still very young! — 4 years ago

I opened and double decanted this more out of curiosity than a desire to have it accompany our braised lamb shanks. I had a bottle of it back around 2013 or 2014 and it was about as impenetrably tannic as a wine could be. Undrinkable at that time. So I kept the other bottle in the cellar and forgot about it. At age 20, it’s actually pretty good, and I think it would appeal especially to those (looking at you @Doug Powers ) who appreciate aged wine. My brother Angelo’s notes from a bottle a few months ago nail it. Rich nose, full of interesting tertiary scents. There’s still some fruit though. Piercing acids. And the tannins still there but has softened considerably. It’s not my jam, pleasure-wise, but it’s quite interesting and I have to give this credit for aging quite nicely. — 2 months ago

Nose of sour cherry, black currant, tar, a bit of meat juice, some green pepper bell touches and black pepper. The palate is very savory, a good acid drive, yet not very fully felt as it comes with a good width, some cherry and currant touches, a saline, meaty touch, a spherical mid palate that powers up a nice and savory finish with meat juice, cherry and currant and that tiny salty touch. About 10 eur in a (very well sourced) supermarket here in Arès, Gironde. Great stuff and super value — 3 years ago

Meat juice, soy sauce, black tea, blackberry juice, ripe cherries, leather, oak, wet forest soil... a lot happens on the nose here ! The palate is a model of balance. Good acid drive, nice savoury, and meaty notes along with cherry and blackberry touches all along. The mid-palate is expanding into some kind of a ball, with only oak tannins, that powers up a long and broad finish with the same savoury, meaty notes, the same red and black fruit juice touches, a tiny salt thing in the very end and and overall sense of a wine that is complete. It's not a trendy wine. It's not gimmicky. It's the essence of a very well-made old world wine, but man, does it deliver. — 7 months ago
