Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jul 13
Ripe pineapple, grapefruit and mineral aromas convey a stronger impression of energy than the Blanchots today. Rich, broad and large-scaled but youthfully backward, with excellent intensity to the flavors of ripe apple, citrus peel and flowers. Finishes stylish and quite dry, with a subtle whiplash of fruit. Lots of potential here.

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.
