Drank 2/14/23

On the nose, white peach, lemon cream pie, and some river rock. Palate is clean with lemon curd and minerality. A touch of tannin on the finish, that lasts quite a while. Premier Cru?perhaps not, bit a solid buy, and for a $17 burg I would drink this all day.

4/20/8/4/4 +50 = 90 pts.

Killer nose. Maybe lacking complexity a tiny bit. Maybe just young. Couldn’t immediately tell it was a Chablis.

2020 | Chardonnay
Kirkland Signature (Costco); 1er Cru
Burgundy; Chablis, France

I have little care regarding what parcels this blend is coming from, at $17.49 it's a total value in play. Slightly softer on the acidity front than the 2019 vintage, so even more accessible now. Lemon and seashells can't do harm, drink and enjoy.

Tasted blind next to two other white Burgundies. It had a fake quality that I couldn’t get over. By itself, very easy drinking. Not bad for the price but definitely not indicative of Premier Cru.

Nose has lemon candy, lemon peel and moist limestone.
Palate has lemon flesh, (light) tangerine flesh, lemon pith, faint saline notes and medium finish.
Solid Costco bottle, buy recommend at ~$18. Slightly more depth than the 2016, as 2017 was a standout vintage for Chablis.

QPR alert 🚨!

Nose has light florals, fresh lemon peel and wet limestone.
Palate has sweet (not tart) lemon, (too) light acidity and light mineral/saline finish.

This was $18 at our Costco. I was intrigued when I saw this vintage, it easily drinks like established Chablis at ~$25. No one should hesitate to buy at least a bottle or two, or more.

Picking up a white peach note the longer the wine is open, nice. 👍
