I didn't find it wound up, though, and cannot imagine it getting much more interesting (to my taste, at any rate) in another 5+ years. Then again, I have next to no experience with older GC chablis.Joe Manekinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068628197191676490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322497686869465958.post-38802393018340421772009-06-10T10:47:21.425-07:002009-06-10T10:47:21.425-07:00Nice lineup.

Very unfortunate that he lost control of his winery, but hopefully he's landed on his feet and is continuing to make wine elsewhere.<br /><br />Gouges Vaucrain is pretty tough to taste in its youth. With the caveat that I haven't tasted nearly as much as I'd like, if I did have some in my cellar I'd not not start getting into it til 10-12 yrs from vintage, minimum.<br /><br />I've had a couple of nice wines from COS but also a fair bit of what Guilhaume or Luc would call f**ked up wines.<br /><br />Also Preuses is grand cru, so I'm not at all surprised that an 01 from Dauvissat is still wound up.slatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620388673974831860noreply@blogger.com
