Domaine Louis Michel

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

This has really changed or at least this bottle. The acidity has perked up significantly. Very tight on opening, needing about 30-60 minutes of air. Lemon zest, oyster shell and minerals. Beautifully composed, pairing so well with a diverse array of food (tonight was fusilli with clams, Serrano, pecorino, garlic and roasted cherry tomatoes). It’s amazing how this wine went from low acidity and almost flabby to tight with punchy acidity. I have one bottle left that I will likely drink this coming year. — 3 days ago

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Hermitage White Rhone Blend 2020

Tightly wound nose, lots of beeswax, white florals and some stone fruit, rounded by oak. Palate in unfortunately alcohol-first (I guessed 14.5 but it’s 15!) but layers of texture. Good bit hot, more pedigree than magic — 4 days ago

Yes, @MICHAEL COOPER DipWSET. This is arguably one of the best French values out there. It’s a hidden gem. Even the Ardeche (one level down represents). Enjoy!
