Domaine Hervé Azo
Vau de Vey Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
Lovely, and rounding into maturity. Needed about an hour to open up, then was mineral driven and just beginning to take on hints of age-appropriate oxidation.

Mar 19th, 2022The differences between good and very good Chablis lie in the nuances. In this Premiere Cru from Herve Azo, we get lots to drool over - transitions from smell into texture into flavor. Crisp, clean, flinty yeasty lemons triple lutz into fully lush lemon cream. Coats the tongue like robes of sweet tropical fruit fondit.
And all this for about $30

I remembered there being more to it. Still satisfying if too expensive.
