And, to be fair, I import white wines that are, perhaps, the opposite in style to Kistler.Emily Schindlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541268595588159905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011946245768794903.post-62728834584504878812009-02-19T09:02:00.000-08:002009-02-19T09:02:00.000-08:00These days my tastes run toward acid and structure...These days my tastes run toward acid and structure.

The tasting as it often does says at least as much about the tasters as the wines, maybe more of the former int his case. I'm a big fan of Brocard, that 2005 Monte de Tonnerre is marvelous. And I'm an even bigger fan of the 2002 Fevre Fourchaume Vaulorent, one of my favorite 2002 Chablis and 2002 I regard as the greatest Chablis vintage at least of the last 10 years. My notes on the 2002 Fevre Vaulorent: The domaine bottles two Fourchames, the straightforward one and this separate parcel. Vaulorent used to be considered a separate appellation from Fourchaume, it is more east-facing. This offers outstanding balance between ripeness and acidity. It has more movement and complexity than the satisfying regular Fourchaume. Thus, it's more akin to a grand cru, especially with the long, minerally finish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011946245768794903.post-74366612562356360382009-02-18T14:34:00.000-08:002009-02-18T14:34:00.000-08:00bring on the buttered popcorn toasted with a 4by4 ...bring on the buttered popcorn toasted with a 4by4 cedar planks to the side of my head i say! my palate would have had no deviation from this tasting (as i look longingly at the empty bottle of '97 vine hill Kistler i served my mom for her birthday...)enochchoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141019532111219025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011946245768794903.post-32945853450606560822009-02-18T14:27:00.000-08:002009-02-18T14:27:00.000-08:00Interesting tasting, although I would say it wasn'...Interesting tasting, although I would say it wasn't exactly a fair match. Kistler is the arguable the top California Chardonnay. Therefore its peers in Chablis are Grands Crus from Raveneau, Dauvissat and Fèvre (domaine bottlings).<BR/><BR/>Love the photo of you with the gold-hued wines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
