Burgundy night. Started off with a nice champagne followed by a Cali roussanne to calibrate the palates.

This was my bottle and I was slightly disappointed. I bought hoping it would be like the ‘13 but they were quite different. This was much more tropical with a sulfur like finish. Almost Chablis like. Shared no characteristics (like lemon cream) like I found with the ‘13 that was very chassagne-Montrachet.

July's monthly WTF group meet up. Blind tasting with a theme of French wines. Bravo to all those who joined...great wines!

When Hoyt poured this, he apologized after the first sip. Felt something was off. I tasted it and was blown away. Has my favorite Chardonnay trait...lemon cream. He stated he thinks the difference was the temperature and that he enjoyed it colder, but I enjoyed it just above cellar temp. Wow. Caramel, lemon cream, Andes mint, and a great texture.

Old friend comes to the table courtesy of the brilliant (and fun!) Erin Scala, savvily paired with lobster and tarragon bisque.

What a stunner. Absolutely delicious. Great tension, structure, fruit and length. Needs a few years though #jeanmarcpillot #chassagnemontrachet

Young and promising, benchmark Chassagne. Slightly rough still, needs some two years to blend all the elements.
