The De Moor’s 2008 Chablis La Rosette once again makes a strong case for treating as premier cru this site that adjoins the diminutive, itself little-known premier cru Beauregards. Enticingly juicy and saliva-inducing, bright and penetrating, it offers striking high-toned maraschino and lemon oil aromas; saturates the palate with fresh lemon, salt, chalk, chicken stock, and nut oils; and finishes with piquant, faintly ashen persistence, but with its bitter and sharp elements of fruit pit, toasted nut, and lemon zest buffered by sheer extract and integrated into an irresistibly refreshing whole. This almost literally takes your breath away. It should be exciting to follow over the next 6-8 years, if not longer. The high acids and sheer concentration of Alice and Olivier De Moor’s 2008 raw material came close to getting the better of a couple of their wines, making for a collection qualitatively more heterogeneous than usual, but culminating in the best Chablis I can recall from this address (which I have been visiting off and on for more than 15 years).Importer: Louis/Dressner Selections, New York, NY; tel.
