This village-level Chablis offers classic aromas of iodiney oyster shell and lime with a sexy suggestion of baked bread. Its thick, ripe flavors of orange zest and ginger are perfectly leavened by racy lemony acidity. Pair this penetrating wine with food now or hold it for 6 to 12 months. (ST) — 9 years ago

This elegantly beautiful wine has perfectly balanced oak aging and Burgundian minerality. It has a touch of everything a village level wine should have, including notes of toast, oak, butter, citrus, flint and white flowers. Very delicious — 10 years ago

Perfect foil for our Dover sole meuniere and grilled seafood misti. Performs well above its lesser known appellation, though it is 1er Cru monopole. Great value too as this will smoke just about any village Blanc. Hints of Meursault saline and fruit nose with the breadth of a St. Aubin. Well integrated oak peeks out in the nose and at the back of the palate to tie in with the minerally and lush finish. #burgundy — 10 years ago

Saint-Véran 2013 - Domaine du Chalet Pouilly


C'est dans le village de Solutré-Pouilly, situé dans la région du Mâconnais en Bourgogne, que la famille Plumet réalise de la magie au Domaine du Chalet Pouilly. Ce domaine ne se revendique d'aucun mouvement, ni d'aucune communauté. Ils font du vin. Depuis 1850. Autant dire que le temps et le respect des pratiques de cette période font partie intégrante de la culture du domaine et qu'elles l'ont toujours été.

Dégustons : notre superbe victime se nomme Saint-Véran 2013 et autant le dire de suite, ce 100% Chardonnay balance : Waouh! Waouh! Waouh! (3 fois)

Des vignes d'une cinquantaine d'années produisent ce jus envoutant, issu d'un élevage en cuve inox pendant 8 mois environ.
La couleur est paille, le nez floral avec un soupçon de pain légèrement beurré. En bouche, la précision est phénoménale. Le vin est superbement équilibré et rien ne semble laissé au hasard. Finesse et délicatesse s'allient sur une minéralité citronnée qui impose une longueur fort agréable. Ce vin coule avec tant d'aisance et de délicatesse qu'on prend alors conscience que la bouteille du doux breuvage est déjà vide ;)
Aie !

ENGLISH /

English friends is here what you need to know, description taken directly from domain's website, but true:

TASTING:
Light yellow (thanks to the old vineyards - 50 years old) colour and an elegant fruity scent. Flavors of fresh buttered bread with
floral fragrances as well as a sweet aroma of ripe fruits and a roasted hint are characteristic of this wine.

2005 Lucie and Auguste Lignier Clos de La Roche

Decanted 3hrs. First Clos de La Roche ever!

Nose: black cherry and spice on nose. Still tight
Ripe fruit on palette with some sour cherries. Big depth. lots of tannins on the finish.

I put it in the fridge and tried it again on day 2 at room temp. It had just a little more perfume to the nose but didn't taste much different. I was hoping it would have opened up more.

I've only had 1er cru and village MSD to compare it to and I'm guessing this needs more time?
The 1er cru wines were 2005 and had more perfumed noses with excellent depth. palette was perfectly balanced in my opinion. — 10 years ago

The light ruby color lets you know this is Murat. Spellbinding nose of earthy Morey dusty love. Some dark cherries underneath. Very aromatic and precise. Incredibly light and pure with a dizzying array of beautiful juicy fruit and mineral. What sap and power yet so light and pure. Only in Burgundy. Spectacular. — 10 years ago

9.0

Very bright, very pretty red fruit (raspberry, red cherry) but overripe nor jammy. Lightly spiced, graphitey mineral, light smoke. Very pure. Light-medium bodied, very fresh acidity driving thorough very sour cherry notes, very bright and juicy, similar structure to a decent Nuits St George village wine. Good elegance, lively freshness — 10 years ago
