Chablis 1er cru Mont de Milieu 2014
An overtly spicy nose is less exotic than usual with its cool, pure and relatively elegant aromas of various white and yellow orchard fruit, seaweed and iodine hints. There is excellent power and punch to the middle weight plus flavors that brim with minerality as well as very fine complexity on the balanced, sappy and saline-inflected finale. This is good stuff and I like the harmony of expression.

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
