Henri Prudhon & Fils Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères 2009

Slightly gold color. This wine shows aromas of poached pear, spices and quite present oak. Round mouth with tropical fruit, grilled nuts and smoke. Long and tasty finish, balanced even if feels quite “powerful” for a white wine and the good presence of oak that tends to tone down with air. Still young, but very good! Alcohol level of 13,5%. Very good+ (90)

Made of Chardonnay. Aged 15 to 18 months in oak barrels, 20% being new. Alcohol kevel of 13,5%

René & Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2007

René & Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2007

Beautiful medium dark gold color. Powerful nose from bottle opening and only got prettier with more air. Rich fruit nose with citrus fruit, poached pear, spices and a gentle hint of oak. Typical salty and mineral Chablis aromas are also there, but in the background. Bright palate with good acidity and powerful salty, fruity, mineral flavors with again, just a touch of spices and oak. So long finish. Among the best white wine I ever had. Sublime (95)

Bought at a wine store in France by a friend since Dauvissat’s wines are not available around here. Merci Baptiste!

Pearl Morissette Chardonnay Cuvée Dix-Neuvième Twenty Mile Bench VQA 2012

Bright gold color. Nose of fresh fruits with pineapple, citrus fruit and earthy clay mineral notes. Round on the palate with a good acidity level that goes pretty well with its candied lemon and fresh pineapple flavors. Long spicy finish. Got really better with air, more complex, so I suggest some cellaring time. Excellent (91)

Made of Chardonnay. Have seen oak, but didn’t find much information on how much. Alcohol level of 13,8%

Was sold at the LCBO (Ontario equivalent of the SAQ) for 35,00$. Some of this winery products are available through privte import in Québec

Bouvret & Ganevat Les Compères Côtes du Jura 2012

Deep gold color for a wine that young. Aromas where honey, melon and ripe pears goes along with earth, mushrooms and flowers. Bright on the palate with good acidity and flavors of honey, green melon, Bosc pear and a hint of spices. Rich but balanced, I would pair this wine with a melting brie cheese topped with cranberries and nuts or bites of prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe. Very good (89)

Made of Chardonnay. From the negoce activity of Ganevat. Alcohol level of 12%

Available at the SAQ for 29,05$ (SAQ code : 11544003 )
