Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay
Chablis, Burgundy, France
First of the blind white wines at this quarter's S&E Wine Club, which for whites was Chardonnay vs Chenin Blanc. Thanks John for bringing this.
Light and crystal clear pale yellow. Very tight on the nose to start with citrus and stone fruit notes. Quite clean as well. Crisp palate with a ton of acidity (7.5/10). Medium bodied with layers of citrus zest, white floral notes and green apples. Stoney and medium plus to long finish. Good potential but needs a little time to integrate further. Drink till 2027. (91+)

Crisp,fresh wonderful Chablis. Don't think it's worth the price tag but absolutely lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Honeyed pears, lemon meringue pie, sea minerals and chalky marl and slate notes with hints of vanilla. Definitely a richer Chablis with 9 years aging on it. Otherworldly finish that lasts for days.
I disagree with those who say it's not worth it's price, as most "Les Clos" Chablis goes for well over $100, this came in around $90.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!....Hog Island oysters shipped overnite and shucked by me.
Pop and pour. A brilliant light golden color. On the nose: floral, tangerine, minerals, and a little grapefruit. Taste: A dry light body with pear, minerals, and lemon peel. Went nicely with the fresh oysters!
