Our Club-only Production Tastings pair our wines against the best examples from around the world, regardless of cost, and helps to keep Jason on his toes. The tasting is done blind. We know the producers of the wines, but not the order in which they are tasted. Rappahannock Cellars has always compared well in a blind tasting environment. How will we do this time? Here is the lineup:
2009 Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos (France/Chablis)
94-96 points – Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar
93-95 points – Burghound
2009 Henri Boillot Puligny Montrachet Clos de la Mouchere (France/Burgundy)
