Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Aug 19
Healthy bright golden yellow. Smoky wet stone, oatmeal and a whiff of truffle on the nose, complicated by honey and pepper nuances; more evolved than the '08 and not a particularly fruity style. Then silky and seamless on the palate, offering surprisingly racy acidity and salty mineral grip. Not hugely complex or ripe but a pleasant surprise and showing very well. Finishes with a slightly phenolic peppery quality. This firm wine should continue to age gracefully on its acidity. Hail cut the crop dramatically in 2007: just 35 hectoliters per hectare produced.

Chablis

Chablis, the northernmost Burgundy region, is famed for its crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay wines. Unlike rich, oaky Chardonnays, Chablis wines, influenced by the cool climate and limestone-rich soils, feature vibrant acidity and flavours of green apple, citrus, and flint. Ideal with seafood, especially oysters, Chablis wines come in four appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru. Esteemed producers like Domaine William Fèvre, François Raveneau, and Vincent Dauvissat are known for their classic, terroir-expressive wines.
