TN: 2002 Chablis
Betsy wasn't feeling 100%, so I volunteered to take over dinner
duties. I scrapped her recipe ideas,. and went for the grill. Bluefish spread with mayo then grilled, and eggplant, along with leftover barley and a green salad. Wine was the 2002 Rene & Vincent Dauvissat Chablis. Ripe and big for Chablis AC, bright acidity, lemon and peach fruit with notes of chalk and wax. Great balance of fruit and minerals, something for everyone. Just the slighttest hint of oxidative notes, but well in background - just a glimpse of nuttiness. This bottle was drinking very well right now. B+ Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency. *

Our supply of this went away a year or two ago, so it's nice to see how it's developed. Given Jean's abhorrence of those oxidative notes, I'm not unhappy that we drank ours when we did... Mark Lipton

Mark Lipton Interesting mention Mark. My wife also does not like the oxidative notes either so I generally don't keep my Chardonnays for more than 5-6 years and this disappoints me because I like older Chardonnay.

Mark Lipton Mark and Larry, oxidative notes were way in background. Doubt I would have commented except I worried re Mark's recent comments about an '02 1er cru. Based solely on the evidence of this bottle, I'd say this was doing well but could hold for a few years. But as the whole PremOx thing has a bit of randomness to it, I'd say better early than late. Have my last remaining '02 Dauvissat (Forest? Sechets?) on Death Row. Some Fevre to follow.
