2017 Duplessis Chablis

In honor of Mike P. I opened the village wine about an hour after taking delivery.

ripe melony slate. Citrussy sea foam on the nose. Medium length finish tails off with grace and style. So friendly and delicious that I may have a hard time putting the 1er crus away to age without trying at least one.

Thank you Dan!


Edited to add: a small taste on Day 2 shows chalk emerging and the ripe friendliness of the fruit receding. Preferred it on Day 1 but still good.

Thanks for that note! I’m not planning on having my stash shipped until April/May.

Thanks for the note Jay. I opened a 2017 MdT a couple weeks ago and thought it was one of the better young Chablis I’ve ever had. If you have some of those, I’d think about giving it a try. While young, it’s completely thrilling right now.

Thank you Matt! I always appreciate some good enabling champagne.gif

Thanks for the TN, Jay! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Just got a selection: village, Montmains & Vaillons. We’ll probably crack the village one tonight. Anybody try the M or V yet?

Hell, I’m still working through my 11s! Just grabbed a bottle of '11 Vaillons from my offsite storage.

Time to get cracking!
