Very fine bubbles

violet and dark currant

This opulent and mouth coating effort is certainly finer than its villages sibling but not necessarily any longer or more complex and I prefer the more overt minerality present in the villages as well

This is seriously impressive and is a wine that should age for decades and about the only nit is that the 2009 version is perhaps slightly less refined than other recent vintages

Fine tannins frame the finish

Patrick Piuze, Chablis Clos Brut Zero Very fine bubblesHere too there is a citrus confit character to the more floral suffused aromas of oyster shell, quinine and brine. There is again very good volume to the sappy and powerful larger scaled flavors that terminate in a lemony, austere and highly persistent finish that isnt quite as complex, at least not yet.
