    Delicious wine. Light transparent gold. Intense lemons, citrus, and minerals on the nose. Bright, minerals, lemons, and a finish of bitter grapefruit with just a hint of nuts. Again, an incredibly delicious wine.

Greg - thanks for the update. I had this wine back on 5/30/09. Sounds like it is progressing nicely. Here’s my note:

2004 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons - France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
The nose on this was a knock out with pepper, crushed rock, smoke and roasted nuts. Very intense nose and probably a 93 pt nose. The palate though pretty was less rich and satisfying than the Fevre Vaillons…just a slight notch behind though. Hazelnut, slate, citrus fruit round it out. Beautiful wine and if it gains a little weight it would merit a 90 pt score from me. (89 pts.)
