Les Blanchots Vieilles Vignes Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2011

Paul Kaan
9.0

Three Grand Cru's BOOM! Just buy the one at the top! When you're talking $120 for the cheapest and $140 for the most expensive you may as well! The Blanchots steps it up a notch and punches above it's $ weight compared to the other two GC's. Poise, seamless integration with deceptively powerful lingering fruit separate it from the others. The Vaudésir is perhaps the most different in style of all the wines. Much fuller and rounder with a hint of overt oak, not in a bad way. Similar to the difference between Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligy-Montrachet. Ageing potential of Chablis is insane. When I was working at Yarra Yering on the naughties we were buying 1970's GC Chablis by Testut & Frére by the wheelbarrow for less than a price of couple of bottles of Yellow Tail. Hoovered it all now, insanely delicious as 30 year old wine. The lower alcohol, fresher, acid driven styles of Chardonnay being made in Australia today make it a much smaller leap to the wines of Chablis. One worth experimenting with!

Shiraz Grenache

Not as smooth as I thought it would be. Slightly medicinal taste. It's not a bad taste, just might not buy it again. — 12 years ago
