"Vaillons" Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

End of Vintage lunch 2021 at Fino Vino.

Verve and precision. A beauty. I have for sale @$36 ea (way below the lowest anywhere else) pm me

Oxidative. Not as tart as I’d expect

Matches perfectly with Jean Georges

Good acidity and structure.

New producer for me. Pale, clear yellow. Shy nose mostly revealing stone. Palate crisp apple, other tree fruits. Stone and minerals predominate. Very young, needs to settle but good potential.

Day 8 of quarantine
Chicken curry tonight
Rough week as you can tell....

This is still very focused on Day 2. Up there with the elites with this bottle

Perfect

Moreau-Naudet Vaillons 1er Cru 2010. The next day definitely open up and hugged me with masculine power but silky, somewhat soft on the palate, lemon candy, minerality like seashore breeze, wet chalky stones showed very well! I love this wine and again compared to Defaix, this wine is more powerfully structured for sure. Hope I can try more if I can get hand on it.
