WSET2 Course Notes; 10/22/2023-11/5/2023 (WineHouse, Los Angeles): Appearance: Medium lemon with green hue. Nose: Medium intensity. Lemon and underripe gooseberry, green apple, wet stones. Very faint cottage cheese (battonage). Toasted nuts. Palate: Dry, high acidity. Medium alcohol and body, medium intensity. Battonage signs. Maybe a touch of malolactic conversion. Of course, lemon. I am not sure I love the lees stirring to be honest or maybe it’s at a bad age. 8/18

A night at the office (RL Restaurant, Chicago IL): This was flowing immediately with perfumed tones of lemon peels, apples, mint, a touch of yoghurt, pears, vanilla, jasmine, peaches, and saline. There is very good depth and definition here to the nose. It does lack a little bit of tension, but the citrus flavors work so perfectly with each other. The Medium bodied feel is deft and balanced with mouthwatering, medium+ acidity. This could benefit from a couple of years of aging, but I don't think this is one to hold for a long time. It is a lovely Premier Cru Chablis that really hits all of the spots I want it to hit.

Absolutely classic Chablis. Austere. Mineral. Couldn't be from anywhere else.
Drinking beautifully now. It'll go longer, but why risk it?
