Chablis Premier Cru Chardonnay 2016

The integration is expert and so elegant. This is not steely laser lemon. It’s weighted, lush, expressive - with almost certain time in used oak (unconfirmed).

Apricot, pear, quince, baking spice.

Your notes are spot on with this wine (as usual). Full bodied, Chablis flavors with some extra all dialed up to a 10.

Chaos Cahors Red Blend

It’s good in terms of character, nice balance, but it’s not as substantial as it should be, it could’ve more depth and body. Sort of disappears a little too soon. At the same time I did enjoy it. Def worth a try — 6 years ago

Pretty average all around. I had higher expectations, but they weren’t fulfilled. I have had no luck with higher priced white wines. Maybe I’m just drinking excellent value lower priced ones, because I find them much better! — 7 years ago

Chablis Chardonnay

Pretty picture of the vineyard with all those hills in the background and sign that it was formed in 1815 the year of Waterloo. That's impressive. Tradition that is. Wine complements the food. Food complements the wine. The acidity is not overwhelming. We tend to complicate things in the US. — 9 years ago

Les Blanchots Vieilles Vignes Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay

Wow! An incredible grand cru offering that stands apart from the other Billaud wines. Driven minerality that is restrained by a noticeable but not overpowering oak influence. Hauntingly ethereal, incredible complexity. — 11 years ago

This is one of the very best bottles of Chablis I’ve had. Intensely pleasing. Amped up. Everything I love about white wine. I am really sad that I only had one bottle but thrilled I got to experience it at its peak. — 8 years ago

Païen Chamoson Heida 2013

Tasted 28/04/2016

Vibrant, intriguing, eloquent nectar made of Heida (Savagnin Blanc), idiosyncratic to Valais.

Dense shimmering brass color, golden glitters.
Wet hay, mint, soaked apples, quince, sage, limestone, pinecone. Caramelized peach.
Fat-bodied, zesty palate. Lively acidity supported by tough mineral kick and kumquat peels, unripe cantaloupe, bruised quince, laurel, sage flavors.
Interminable finish...
Unique winexperience!
--------------
Pairings... I tried several ones. 
First was 'C_Bro favorite': cute little bunny, trapped, skinned, disemboweled and baked in sourcream with allspice, garlic, onion, juniper, carrots and thyme.
Than - moderatetly spicy grilled reindeer sausages.
And finally mature + blue mold cheese plate.
All three played well.
