Literally. It was so intense in it's Chablis-ness it nearly knocked me off my seat. And the taste just lingered forever. I believe they were pouring it by the glass for a dinner pairing so it had probably been open for a bit that day and maybe that helped. I loved it so much, the next day I ran to CSW to buy a bottle. The only other 08 Chablis I've had so far is the Petite Chablis from Dauvissat, which was quite nice for what it was. But I agree that the De Moor has years to go.larshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078523649696201276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-25660586207859458042010-05-12T12:36:03.623-04:002010-05-12T12:36:03.623-04:00thanks for the kind words, Richard.
I don't, ...thanks for the kind words, Richard.<br /><br />I don't, Rhit. My experience with Fevre begins in 2005.<br /><br />hey cory - i haven't found that, regarding De Moor. I thought 06 and 07 Rosette were identifiable blind as Chablis, even early on. Supposedly this 08 is better than those, and perhaps it's simply too young now. or maybe you're just right. on Tribut - i asked around and heard the same annoying thig more than once - the distributor is a behemoth and requires investing in lots of crap quality stuff before you can buy things like Tribut. I don't blame the small places for not getting involved. but i'd love to taste it some day.<br /><br />Anon - louis moreau - duly noted<br /><br />hey weston - i hear you, but i haven't explored Chablis the way I have Muscadet, and I think there's something to it. I've had some phenomenal bottles. <br /><br />Anon (2) - i'm not certain that it was oxidized on day 1. it just showed a lot of oxidation in addition to other things, which became more prominent on day 2. <br /><br />hey sam - but what about the question of whether or not the vintage character of 05 overwhelms the subtleties of terroir?Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-67258932682243783692010-05-11T12:27:26.606-04:002010-05-11T12:27:26.606-04:00My favorite subject.

I've had some very good 05s, including that 05 Fevre Fourchaume Rhit mentioned above, Savary's Vielles Vignes (one of the best values in wine, every year, Christian Moreau's Vaillons "Cuvee Guy Moreau." Rhit, I have some 04 Vaudesir from Fevre, and it needs time still. It's a particularly broad and rich wine, even for Vaudesir, though I haven't opened one since January 09. 06 is good too, though it varies according to producer. Bernard Defaix (Winebow) made excellent 06s, including an excellent Cote de Lechet.<br />SamSamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-40812966548872542632010-05-11T12:06:20.782-04:002010-05-11T12:06:20.782-04:00My sample size is small (and I may just be wrong) ...My sample size is small (and I may just be wrong) but I'm finding oxidation issues with the De Moor wines. Your comment about the apparently oxidized wine that improved has me completely confused. I, too, think Tribut's wines are good (though I'm definitely in the camp that prefers those of his brother-in-law).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-61780296418517493732010-05-11T03:35:19.601-04:002010-05-11T03:35:19.601-04:00you know to be honest I find Muscadet a lot more i...you know to be honest I find Muscadet a lot more interesting and enjoyable then Chablis and heck its usually cheaper, esp here in Vancouver CanadaWestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125027693380601285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-82502448842958107382010-05-11T01:00:37.860-04:002010-05-11T01:00:37.860-04:00BG, think you should try Louis Moreau Chablis.
