WTN: My favorite mistake

by Jenise » Tue May 25, 2021 1:27 pm

An orphan that I tripped over in the cellar--I somehow hadn't logged it into inventory and didn't realize I still had any 13's!--served it with a smoked trout pate:

2013 Domaine Christian Moreau Père et Fils Chablis 1er Cru Vaillon Chardonnay
A whiff of oxidation blows off quickly and one hour in with a good chill, this wine swung for the fences. Yellow quince-like fruit with lemon, homemade apple sauce, graham cracker and a touch of cinnamon wading around in the mineral pool, at eight years out this wine is spectacularly at peak, decadent in the most refined way possible.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
