Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Sep 20
The 2018 Petit Chablis comes from 35-year-old vines and spent 10 months in stainless steel, 8 months on the fine lees. This has a delightful white peach and light apricot nose that blossoms in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a tangy marmalade notes on the entry, good depth and a subtle reduction on the finish. Excellent.

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.
