Clavoillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2004

$210, yes. Thankfully no signs of pre-mox. Slightly honeyed, reductive / gun flint nose that faded with air to smoke. Lime zest, peach, orange blossom, integrated smoke on palate. Great minerality and acidity, impressively long finish. Likely reaching peak soon. — 6 years ago

Les Frionnes Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015

Nice little wine, probably the leanest white burgs I’ve had from 15. Acacia, white grapefruit, lemon, lemon pith, wet stones, flint and a hint of nuttiness. Pretty lean and tight on the palate. Finish pulls up a bit short and a touch bitter. Revisit in a year or two — 6 years ago

Laser beam to my Chardonnay pleasure center. Such focused orchard fruit, flint and sappiness , with a hint of salinity. Reductive (surprise!) upon opening, much more giving with a couple hours in the decanter. Every time I question the QPR of white Burgundy, Roulot reels me back in. Thanks, @Evan Vallee. I need a winning lotto ticket or something... — 8 years ago

Brut Champagne Blend 2006

Fresh citrus & apple opening which becomes shorter over time and is replaced every half hour by subtle mid flavours ranging from extreme brioche, white pepper and nuts to flint. First ever, glad it didn’t disappoint! — 6 years ago

Bonneau du Martray

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2005

Very intense. Powerful gunpowder, flint, lime. A dazzling and broad midpalate. Really juicy and focused with none of the over-ripeness you sometimes see in 05. Killer. No signs of premox and will probably kick ass in 20 years on this showing. — 7 years ago

Flint & Steel

Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Flint & Steel adds a crisp flinty backbone to classic Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. A lovely nose of honeysuckle, peach and grapefruit rind is followed by flavors of mango, kiwi, lemongrass & freshly squeezed grapefruit. The wine is medium bodied with a smooth and refreshing finish. — 10 years ago

Domaine Pinson Frères

Mont de Milieu Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017

Pale lemon with developing aromas of green apple, lemon, wet stone, flint, cheese, yogurt, hay, and mushroom. Dry, high acidity, medium body and medium alcohol. Medium intensity flavors of straw, wet stone, hay, lemon and nectarine. Drink now but has potential for further aging. Very good quality. — 5 years ago

Domaine Vacheron

Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2013

As the Victorians would have said, a real stunner. In a great place right now, initial blast of elderflower upon uncorking. Further oxidation brings out the classic flinty notes and lush creaminess of premium Sancerre. Slightly faded golden brocade. Flint, citrus, blossoms on the nose. Vibrant acidity. Just gorgeous work. — 7 years ago

Cantina del Pino

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2009

Found another 2009, 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Ovello Cru, a premiere site. Ruby with red Berry fruit, floral and flint aromas. On the palate, cherry, raspberry and ripe strawberry flavors with a touch of earthy floral tastes. Tannins are muted, balanced with acidity, well structured. Drinking great now, should last a few more years but why wait on this beauty? — 8 years ago

Extremely layered but delicate nose lets you know you are in for a treat. There's no kick of gooseberry or cat pee, funk or wool. Instead, a great balance between the signature gun smoke, flint and lit match, layered with extra clean lemon, lime, and grapefruit. Palate is rich and round, full of citrus fruit and a stream of acidity. — 8 years ago
