Domaine Pattes Loup, Chablis Premier Cru, Les Beauregards

Helt strålande första kvällen. Smörig, nötig, lite utvecklad doft med gula äpplen, lite citrus och lite jäst. Fyllig och fet i munnen med fin och lätt kartig syra. Tyvärr klappade den ihop rejält över natten till en lite oangenämt vaxig och ostig doft.

Great Chardonnay - timid nose that will develop further down the line, medium full body that is seamless and elegant with perfect balance between ripe fruit and good amount of acidity. Some green, verbena-like notes the mid palate and finish which makes me think this has some more miles to go, but drinking great right now.

Outstanding. Great character, minerality and balance. Need to get some more!

This wine was fantastic. Had a great balance between reductive aromas and citrus/tree fruit with an accent from a judicial use of oak. The acidity was persistent and long but not green and I imagine it will age very well over the next 5-10 years.

Opened last night where it paired terrific with a kale, arugula salad with lime/olive oil dressing. Tonight, simply drinking at sunset without food to capture this note. There is a chill on this, too. Has a sea air aromatic, that freshness that comes with Chablis. To the palate, what stood out last night and also tonight is a core of pineapple, along with pear and green apple. When the wine warms up some, shedding the chill, the tropical aspect of …

Medium yellow. Citrus and herb. Medium weight, very texturally alluring. It is nice to feel rather than taste the oak. Round feel, average acidity, good finishing dose of seashell. Not as soft as some wines of the vintage, but could use a bit more snap.

Poured into a wide mouth and allowed to aerate about 15 min, then poured back into the chilled bottle on ice. Feels like it has ripe fruit, goes tropical pineapple custard a bit, and offers a tiny prickle of heat on the way down; but a nice angular finish of minerally, dry extract and acid help it strike a certain balance. That godly Chablis seashell aroma pokes out after about an hour open and makes everything great.
