Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

Solid, textbook Chablis Premier Cru. Incredible tension and focus while still having a touch of richness from ML, partial neutral oak elevage, and lees action. If drinking now, decant, and preferably wait a couple years; this stuff needs a bit of air and/or time to unwind and right now it shows a little too reductively right out of the gate. Also, the acid is a bit intense even for an acid freak like me. Pours a medium (-) straw-gold hue. Nose of tart Granny Smith apple, lemon curd, smoky crushed chalk and sea spray, slightly underripe starfruit, and a hard cheese rind leesy character. On the palate, it's incredibly linear and with laser sharp focus; with more lemon curd, crushed chalk and oyster shell, underripe starfruit, Granny Smith apple skin, and hard cheese rind lees notes abound. Absolutely screamin' acid and bone dry with medium (-) body that is offered a bit of oily, soft texture from elevage on fine lees with partial neutral oak. Nice length. Intense wine; begs for oysters on the half shell or a bright seafood dish like a scallop crudo or something. — 7 years ago

Grand Cellier 1er Cru Brut Champagne Blend

Jaw dropping aromatics of chalk and wet stones and buttery croissant unusually pronounced, out of a wider bowled white wine glass than the white wine Zalto I normally use for this. Good to note. Body is medium plus and has great concentration at this price point, due to barrel fermentation and aging. Poor man's Krug basically and that richness I haven't found at a price lower than this. Perfect pairing with 90 day aged beef crudo and perigord truffle tajarin. Neutral acid cut the mild spice and iodine flavor of spaghetti neri and even worked lovely along with zeppoli with lavender cream. — 8 years ago
