Les Chataigniers Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay 2019

Spring / summer 2021. More balanced than the warm 2018, but needs a little time for the elements to come together a bit. — 3 years ago

Really lovely Chardonnay with age and still has a lot of acid

En Creches St. Véran Chardonnay 2005

Extraordinary. Bright but not excessively acidic. Elegance, complexity, minerality. Not a trace of premox. — 9 years ago

Les Pierres Polies Mâcon-Chaintré Chardonnay

Fresh Chardonnay from the village of Chaintré, southwest of Mâcon. Vines are about 30 years old and rooted in clay and silex soils. Fresh, mineral, citrus, hints of lemon custard. Good acidity, subtly saline. Refreshing, easy to drink — 3 years ago

En France Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay 2012

Clean nose, light green apple, oak but not heavy. Creamy on the palate, some minerality. Plan to finish this bottle tomorrow, based on other reviewers I should expect enhancement.

Thanks
@Lyle Fass but I'm going to stick with the La Verchère VV, and cellar them. This was an interesting comparison to the Grgich Chardonnay (2012) tonight, more noticeable oak on this bottle, albeit not distracting.

Day Two: Still creamy oak, but the minerality and acid seem to have really picked up.

La Verchère Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay 2005

Nothing better than a well aged Chardonnay and fatty, cold water fish. This bottle is our go to pairing for grilled steelhead trout.

Nose is evolving since my prior post, oxidized green apple peel and cold caramel.

Palate is lightly sweet lemon curd/custard, baked red apple, cooked lemon, warm granite dust and a zing of acidity on the close.

Our feline house managers pestered for comfortable portions on the trout, they are good boys and girls, generally, so we endulge.

Great night listening to Hugh Masekela and Mongo Santamaria on the HiFi, everything complimented!

One bottle left, then we move along to the next vintage.
