With grilled chicken, Caesar salad and bruschetta:

2002 Dom.Chantemerle (Boudin), Chablis Fourchaume:

Crisp and tight but not entirely closed; has a racy sort of cracked pepper flavor along with the chardonnay and flint elements; excellent length. An intense and well-made wine that needs several years to open and develop. No wood in use at this house.

About $26, delivered. Imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, NY.

2001 Coppo, Costebianche:

Chardonnay from the Piedemont that is concentrated, structured and over-oaked. California has come to Italy and it’s not a good thing; smoked chardonnay is not appetizing.

With cheese:

2000 Chat. Pesquie, Cotes de Ventoux “Les Terrasses”:

A CdP look-alike with more tannin and, at present, less fruit while being somewhat disjointed. Not a bad wine but not interesting or exciting.

About $9, retail. Imported by Eric Solomon.

Best, Jim
