Les Tuffeaux Montlouis-sur-Loire Chenin Blanc 2020

Demi-sec. Pineapple, honey, lemon rind. Not what I usually look for in Chenin, but this is undeniably a good wine. Elegant, full, and with a finish that just won’t quit. — 9 months ago

Le Bois Jacou Touraine Gamay

A solid budget “Beauj”. This actually tastes like terroir and you can tell the winemaker is trying to not get too involved in the cellar unlike last nights moulin a vent. A lightness and tartness that is quite fun raspberry notes of fruit and a lot of acidity lead to a good drinking wine. Perhaps cherry notes in the middle? The finish isn’t huge but it does linger after swallowing. Actually the nose is quite pretty. Lilac notes? A flower. Highly recommended. The light tartness on the finish might a little much for some people. Maybe air will mellow it. Will buy again.
Edit: after 20 or 30 min of air the tart end integrates and the wine smoothed even more out. This probably deserves a higher rating than 9. Highly recommended

Blanchot Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2003

The 2003 Blanchot pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, this is developing and all about the minerals with crushed seashell and chalk taking the lead over some verbana and a creamy lemon leesy thing. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and savory, leesy and mineral laden. A special wine that needs air to really come alive. Drink now with patience and through 2033. — 4 months ago

J’ai adoré cette cuvée quand j’ai eu l’occasion de la goûter, à l’époque où les prix étaient encore "raisonnables"

Chapelot Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1989

This seems fresher than the 1989 Butteaux (plus, the entire cork, in 3 distinct pieces, came out of the bottle), color is light/medium gold, but fruit doesn’t show the depth of the 1989 Butteaux, both are still alive and solid (at 35 YEARS!?!?), but this Chapelot is fresher, while the Butteaux is fatter/richer, thus I’ll give each the same score! — 7 months ago
