Domaine du Vieux Château Vieilles Vignes Chablis Chardonnay 2020

I’m a little bit disappointed with this wine. For 3y it shows surprising age - deep golden color, with ripe yellow apples & Reine Claude plums, with a bit of fresh apple pie. Round and mellow - I miss the typical mineral, steely sharpness. Esp. at this age.
On the palate this is more structured, properly mineral & steely with racy, juicy acidity and a long finish of salty lemons. Nice depth, too.
Went well with the fish, by not sure if I’m going to buy it again.

Another great producer. I’m surprised it’s still hanging in there. I rarely let my Bojo’s get that mature.

Côte de Léchet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2007

I absolutely adore this wine. Probably one of the best Premier Cru Chablis bottles I can remember tasting. A lovely medium straw color in the glass with faint tinges of green flecks. The bouquet is a tour de force of chalk, salinity, and citrus. Herbs and honey with just the right amount of oak.

It’s always fun when producers offer late releases which helps with potential cellaring. Developed but still on the young side, this is ready to drink now. The acid is just now beginning to develop into something beautiful. Emotional and thrilling on the tongue honey roasted nuts, lemons and limes, and seashells. A long persistent finish leaves you hoping you have a few more left.
