Château Chalon

More polished than the Tissot, like someone took vin jaune to finishing school. Classic Château-Chalon parade - walnuts, ripe yellow apples, candied fruit, curry, vanilla, all perfectly arranged. Round and structured with that light acidity keeping it floating rather than plodding. The finish stretches out with spices and this airy quality, like fresh bread with smoke around the edges. Great texture, everything in its place. Maybe too much in its place? This is vin jaune for people who iron their jeans. Technically excellent, hits all the marks, but I miss the wildness, the rough edges that make you pay attention. Still, hard to argue with this level of execution. The commission would be proud.
