Les Cras Vougeot 1er Cru Chardonnay

Confrérie Des Chevaliers du Tastevin Sous-Commanderie d'Albany, Paulée Dinner; 6 February 2022 at Hooked Market & Kitchen, Latham, NY

This app has crapped out twice on me now. Lost my notes, and this is my third attempt...
Last bottle was oxidized, not this one. Notes of caramel, honey and bay leaf on the nose and palate. Very little acidity to talk about. Moderate sweetness completed what is a fully mature example.

Sadly pretty much oxidized. Mostly sherry notes. Some nice richness and tropicality, but mostly over the hill.

Nice value. My understanding is that it was $10 at auction.

Viognier mouth feel with rope tropical notes of coconuts and bananas and wrapped in some oak. Structure with some baby fat but long acid backbone finishes the wine well. Interesting these whites from the Nuits are opposites of reds from Montrachet areas of D'Or in character and style.

Needed time in the glass. Opened up to be rich and rewarding.

Oxidized in a big way...

Buttery with mineral finish. A touch too floral. Lacks enough acidity

Almost semillon-like melon with pretty floral notes. Very gloopy and round. Not bracing acidity, but good balance. Pinot Blanc.
