Hay gold in color. The nose is filled with green apples and some chalk. A bit of underlying minerality. On the palate, sour green apples which get stronger with air. Good acidity, but not great (especially for Chablis). Long finish. Lots of fruit here. This will go with a wide variety of light and medium weight foods. Not quite what I think of for Chablis, but very much a nice Chardonnay (if that makes sense). Available at Nakedwines.com.
Fevre is possibly the best Chablis producer that is still (almost) affordable, so it was great to try this 1er Cru. Yellow/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is tight but opened with a bit of air to show hay, green apples, slight wax and slight chalk. Medium to full bodied. Crisp acidity. On the palate, green apples, limes and slight peach with a bit of gun powder. Long finish. Still on the young side, this should drink well for the next eight to twelve years. It is nice on its own and would be perfect with oysters.
Chablis continues to be an excellent source or white Burgundy especially when considering the price and the premox issues. While Chablis is not immune on either issue, it is a bit better on both. This is a newer-ish producer making some great wines and reasonable pricing. Light silvery gold in color. The nose is very nice with green apples and chalk. Very clean. On the palate, those flavors continue with a nice depth and complexity. Very nice acidity. Some grapefruit as well. Long finish. This will work great with salads and sea foods but also with fowl dishes. It really does beg
My first time trying wine. Very nice. Gold green in color, clear and bright. The nose is a bit chalky with apples (mostly green). Good acidity. On the palate, this is crisp and tasty. Chalky with lemons. Nice finish. Nice on its own, but this is very food friendly. It went great with a caprese salad. Drink over the next seven to ten years. Nice value.
This is drinking quite well. At a time when Burgundy prices are soaring and the "best" producers are unaffordable, Chablis still offers the ability to get a great wine. The question is how long will this continue. Light green/silver with a slight gold in color. The nose is pretty classic with crushed shells, chalk and green apples. On the palate, this has a much creamier texture and more rounded than expected. Presumably that is due to barrel fermentation and a bit higher alcohol levels. No matter, it still has a nice green apple and mineral flavor set with is quite refreshing and de
