($71): Chablis remains an underappreciated, and hence, under priced source of unique white Burgundy.  While not inexpensive, it is practically impossible to fine Côte d’Or Grand Cru at this price.  And this wine is truly worthy of the Grand Cru moniker.  Rather than wowing with creamy ripeness and power of the Côte d’Or Grand Cru, this Blanchot dazzles with a mouth-filling density and a seemingly unending flinty minerality.  Racy acidity amplifies its message and adds to its overall impact.  It’s everything you’d expect from top-notch Chablis from a great vintage.
