2022/1. Lots of breadth as well as savory minerality here - while still being spry and balanced

Feb 13th, 20222022/2/12-13 with oyster gumbo, oyster gratin, etc. This didn’t strike me as having quite the richness and breadth of aroma as the last bottle, but still excellent.

Feb 13th, 20222021/9 as an aperitif, with shirasu and aosa linguine, etc. On opening, this had a ton of bright lemon and white flowers, with a touch of stone fruit and lots of vibrancy and cut. Over a couple of days, though, it became more savory, mineral and rich, with some buttery pastry. It’s hard to imagine more enjoyment from a bottle of white Chalonnaise in this initially “lighter” but deceptively layered style.
