Tasting Notes

95
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jul 08
Bright, pale yellow. Reticent but very pure nose features slightly metallic aromas of exotic flowers, mirabelle, spices, vanilla and minerals. Wonderfully silky, thick and deep but extremely unevolved today and not yet showing its personality. But this compellingly tactile, powerful and rich wine stains the palate with unflagging citrus, floral and wet stone flavors. An infant today.

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.
