Flint Vineyard
Domaine Coche-Dury (J.F. Coche Dury)
Meursault Chardonnay 2001
2001. Can I get an amen??!! Beautiful bottle. Expressions of flint and matchstick that evolves into epic meursault. Only flaw is that there aren't that many bottles of this left! — 11 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. — 12 years ago
Penfolds
Bin 311 Tumbarumba Chardonnay 2010
Mature cool climate Chardonnay. Penfolds Whites are starting to gain the reputation of their illustrious Red offering. After 6 years funk is replacing the Flint of a few years ago. Nice stone fruit notes and long. Enjoyable. — 10 years ago
Domaine François Raveneau
Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2003
Lemon, citrus, wet stone, oyster shell, gun flint, and saline notes. Love the tension in the ripeness of the vintage against the bracing acidity. Raveneau delivers again! — 11 years ago

Thierry et Pascale Matrot
Meursault-Charmes 1er Cru Chardonnay 2011
Took a couple hours to open up then showed terrific gun flint minerality, bracing acidity and tangy lemon-lime fruit. Would lay off for a couple years before trying again when I suspect the components will be better integrated. — 11 years ago

Slate, flint, pine, lemon zest. 2012 Louis Michel MdT showing well on this hot summer night. — 12 years ago
Lauren Vance
Buyer Whole Foods Market Oakland
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. — 10 years ago
