Domaine Tessier
Champ Perrier Bourgogne Chardonnay
Burgundy, France
Another day, another bottle of wine tainted by poor storage in Kuching. Sigh. It wasn't exactly gone though, but I'm certain it should not have tasted like an oxidative-style Chenin. Good acid and structure, plus it worked well with our steak sandwich.

Soon after opening and too cold it was all tension and acidity and thin edged. After a bit of time I got a faint, faint bit of matchstick and hints of oak. Very faint floral aspects. Has a distinct salty, dry minerality finish. Quite austere for a village chard.

Crisp white burgundy. Green apple, lime, and some herbaceousness. Really nice.

Jul 8th, 2020joined a new 'wine club' that's supposed to send me surprise 'authentic' (not mass produced) wines that are 'for me'.
i started 🙈 tasting (my wife covered the label for me).
this was a cliche Bourgogne white. but a well made one. i half guessed it was bourgogne. but wasn't sure this is such an easy right guess. my other option was an oaked sa chenin blanc.
firm but mellow oak-ness, citrus and hints of stone fruit (apple and peach).
full body.
high acidity.
long 🎯
not my style but well made wine.
my wife supposedly didn't like it, but the bottle was empty before dinner was served. we halfed it very easily.

Tight when first opened but it opened with some time and air. Dry and minerally with some stone fruits. A nice touch of acidity in the finish. Excellent aperitif.

This unclassified wine is a wonder ... Crispiness and beauty minerality... Easily mistaken for a 1ere cru...

2012 vintage on 4-13-16. Well rounded and rich. Paired with black cod in a truffle soy based sauce that was matched perfectly.
