and oyster shell. There is an opulent texture to the powerful, serious and large-scaled flavors where focus and precision is assured via a firm acid spine on the energetic and palate staining finish where the wood influence reappears as does a hint of youthful bitterness. However, there is so much dry extract that this shouldn't have any particular difficulty in successfully integrating the wood or dissipating the bitterness over time. This isn't really my style as I prefer edgier and racier Chablis but there is no question that this is really impressive with terrific upside development potential."

yet impressively intense middle weight flavors that ooze a fine minerality on the very dry, austere and long finish. This is a textbook Vaucoupin of subtlety and finesse where the restrained and understated style makes the underlying quality almost easy to miss. Very fine quality here."

Chablis is a sub region of Burgundy that specializes in dry white wines made from the CHARDONNAY grape variety. The soil there is rich in limestone, which imparts a distinctive mineral Read More...
flavor to the wine. The 2011 Chartron trebuchet Chablis s is typical of the Chardonnay produced there. The nose is bright and delicate with floral notes. The wine has been fermented in stainless steel tank to bring out the zesty fruit flavors of apple, melon, and a hint of citrus with classic limestones minerals. The finish is clean with no cloying aftertaste, and no oak presence, of course! This Chardonnay is appreciated for its refreshing spontaneous style!

eROBERT PARKER 92-94 POINTS: "Gorgeous and vivid in the glass, the 2011 Chablis Blanchots captures the very best of the vintage in its crystalline fruit. Read More...
Although there is considerable depth and richness in the glass, those qualities have been achieved while retaining tons of clarity. The Blanchots is loaded with personality and sheer pedigree. Interestingly, the Blanchots is one of the 2011s that was made with a mechanical press. This is serious juice. Anticipated maturity: 2014+."

is attractive, but it lacks the pedigree of the best wines here. The overall impression is of a wine built on fruit rather than nuance. Still, the Bougros is delicious, it just suffers from the inevitable comparisons to other wines in the lineup. The Bougros is one of the wines where Piuze used a pneumatic press. Anticipated maturity: 2013+."

mineral yet rich, textured wine is utterly compelling for its beguiling, multi-dimensional personality. The Cote de Bouqueyreaux is utterly vivid in the glass. There is plenty of promise here. Piuze reported he had a few issue with frost and hail, but the wine itself is gorgeous. Anticipated maturity: 2014+."

fruit build to the textured finish. The Fourchaume is one of the most outwardly opulent of the 2011s at this stage. It is mostly a wine of fruit and texture. Patrick Piuze adds that Fouchaume has the narrowest window of optimal harvest dates of the plots he works with, so getting the picking date right is absolutely critical. Anticipated maturity: 2013+."

There is a level of delineation and nuance in the Preuses that is striking. Weightless and pure, the Preuses is all class from the very first taste. It is one of the many highlights in this set of 2011s from Patrick Piuze. Anticipated maturity: 2014."

WINE MAKER'S NOTES: -"
Our estate is unique. The imprint of its terroir is readily apparent in the aromatics, flavors and textures of our wines. Read More...
For Chardonnay, one of the most noteworthy traits is concentration. Our 2010 is a great example. While displaying a bit more elegance than recent vintages, the wine is still wonderfully intense and powerful with notes of baked apple, hazelnuts, lemon peel, nutmeg, brioche and cream."

Enjoy this Chardonnay with flavors from the ocean, (crab cakes, grilled fish, prawns or scallops and angel hair pasta tossed with a cream sauce) or pour with grilled chicken or pork, creamy chowders and mushroom risotto.
