2007 J-M Brocard Chablis VV

I met a friend for lunch and we split a bottle of the 2007 J-M Brocard Vielles Vignes. The new label didn't look French but I guess that's why I was never very good at marketing! The wine was pale gold in color and shimmered in the glass. Fairly effusive nose of limestone mineral, sea salt and fresh lime. Fairly plush on the palate with a reacy acidity. Plenty of citrus and rocky minerality built on a typically Chablis frame of fruit with finesse. I liked the effort and for $38 it was a good QPR. "B+"

I'm not nearly as fluent in wine writing as John Gilman and I'm not even sure where to find his reviews but it is a pretty good review for a pretty good glass of wine! I did taste it initially at the winery last spring. The restaurant we were at usually only charges me retail prices as their usual charge is only $10 over retail and I bring them a lot of business and I bring them little wine gifts from time to time.
