I've wanted to get my hands on Chablis for a long time, but my finances wouldn't allow it. However, the time has come.
Raoul Clerget Chablis 2020
Nose: at first, it seems like just cheese with white mold, but then it opens up. Green apples, pears, a chalky minerality, and a tart, green wood aroma. It sounds good, but in reality, the nose is weak, and not even very pleasant, too acidic.
The flavor profile is also based on green fruits, but citrus is also added here. And, of course, minerals. Interestingly, there is a tart, tea-like note, like young Shen. Floral notes are more absent than present, herbaceous notes are more present than absent. High acidity. A bit sharp. It seems rich, but only when warm. But when warm, it's so sharp that even I wince a little.
The finish isn't particularly impressive. Perhaps only the minerals will linger.
To be honest, I'm disappointed. The wine is good, even very good, but at its price, such childish flaws as a weak nose and sharpness are simply unforgivable. For once, I have to laugh at wine snobs and admit that more expensive doesn't always mean better.

I'm blown away. They put the cocktail in a flask and smoked it. It's now really smoky. And sweet, and strong, and spicy. Something that makes life seem incomplete without it.

Nose: in the background, as usual, there's a berry jam, but you can also hear oak and nuts. A bit sharp, slightly unclear.
Taste: powerful, rich, with notes of tobacco, oak, dried fruits, chocolate. A very rich and even rough palette, but the tannins are quite soft. Sometimes, you can even sense the signature Spanish creaminess.
Not worth the money.
Rough, but vibrant. 8/10
