Tasting Notes - Brief Chardy Notes from Lunch

Ok, a couple of very brief thoughts on a couple of decent chards................

Tyrells Vat 47 2004 (Recommended)
A brief stray into large producer world. Elegant, very balanced, touches of daggy old worldy chardonnay fruit. Low oak impact. Lacks obvious excitement but is classically built and will go another 3 years with ease.

William Fevre Petit Chablis 2005 (Recommended)
If this is representative of budget chablis then show me where to sign up for the fan club. Tight, youthful style. Flavours mostly in the citrus camp; settled lemon, surprisingly weighty, and plenty of drive right through the palate. Daggy old fruits and wood work really well. Ripe year perhaps.
