1986 vintage. At Au Fils du Zinc in Chablis - thank you Fabian for picking the best white wine experience of the year. This was a wine that Mr Raveneau didn't release because he thought there was too much oak and sulphur. Only recently did they realise they had a gem. Medium golden hue. Honeyed, white peach, lemon pieces, iodine and crushed rock minerality. Slight bovril note and sea shell with air. Amazing complexity. On the palate, perfect balance between fresh acidity and body, highly concentrated and layers of complexity. Very very long. Outstanding. Still fresh enough to last another 7-10 years at least. — 8 years ago

Quite sweet & fruity, but that was necessary to cut thru the "zinc aftertaste" — 8 years ago

2002 vintage. In Au Fil du Zinc, Chablis. Medium lemon green hue. Lemon curd and honey, some buttery notes. Rich. Deep concentration. On the palate, medium plus acidity, full body, medium alcohol, full concentration of honey, vanilla and lemon candy pieces. Wet stone minerality present in the mid palate, rather than the nose. Quite long, but not lingering in the way some Raveneau can be. Developing in the glass. Great complexity. Still relative youngster. Drink now until 2032. NB: decant at least one hour before drinking. — 9 years ago

At bistro Zinc in Paris, had the 2008 and loved it. My wife said it had hints licorice, coffee, blackberry and oak. It was amazingly easy to drink with a great finish — 10 years ago

Vintage Blanc De Blancs 2010 by Chandon is one of my favs! It balances freshness with elegance in a universally appealing aperitif style. Love that zinc, that fragrant! — 11 years ago

2008 vintage. At Au Fils du Zinc in Chablis. Just pop and pour - no decanting. Bright pale cherry hue. On the nose, typical crushed raspberry with earthy farmyard meaty notes. Enticing. On the palate, like walking up stairs - different levels of flavour and intensity as it rolls through the tongue. Medicinal and herbal but in a balanced and interesting way - a crescendo of concentration on the back of the palate. Medium minus acidity and medium body. Slightly warm alcohol and a huge finish. Another wow wine from a wow trip. Young? Drinking very well despite its youth. Might develop a little more from here. Drink now until 2025+. — 8 years ago

2010 vintage. At Au Fil Du Zinc, Chablis. Pale golden hue. Ripe and round stone fruits, honeyed, hints of wet stone minerality, youthful but with complexity. On the palate, medium plus acidity, medium plus body, medium alcohol and high concentration. Very long finish. Textural and velvety. Quite full on for a Chablis. Starting to drink now until 2030+. — 9 years ago

Drier than a Arizona riverbed. Called zinc for a reason. Delightful mineral start with a slight lemon peel finish. A great hot weather white. @momma_leslie is gonna like this. #riesling #alsace #france #hotweekend — 10 years ago

Loved it. Unfortunately was one of the last chances at the SAQ. From the German region of Italy, Trentino, this wine has aromas of lychee, cinnamon, zinc and flowers. Off-dry and high in acidity. — 11 years ago

2011 vintage. At Au Fils du Zinc in Chablis. Fabian recommended this bottle over the more famed Les Clos 2011 as he thought it would be drinking better. And boy he was right. A very big wine, I would recommend serving it ever so slightly colder than normal to restrain the power in this wine. Medium golden hue. The wine has crushed rock chalkiness, honey blossom and plenty of ripe peach notes. On the palate, this wine explodes with power and ripeness, medium plus body and a very broad mid palate that coats your tongue. The acidity makes your lips smack and powers the very long citrus finish. Hugely impressive compared with my expectations. Really enjoyable particularly with the cheese I had for dessert. Drink now - doubt it can get much better from here. — 8 years ago

2010 vintage. Au Fil du Zinc, Chablis. Pale lemon hue. Minerality to the fore, lemon citrus fruit profile, honeysuckle and white flowers. Chalky crispness. On the palate, high acidity, medium minus body, medium alcohol and medium concentration. Good long finish - tart and crisp. Will age a long time. Drink now until 2036+. — 9 years ago

Rosemary wheat bread notes to the fore on this stubby beauty. Dark Pretzel middle. Sunshine and space. Thick slice of life like soda bread. Clean, marble, subtle and full of intestinal skin notes, and the spirit of haggis. Iron and zinc. — 10 years ago
