2022 Domaine de Charmoy Chablis, France, Burgundy, Wine Review

At a recent blind tasting of Chablis, this ended up being the highest ranked wine. It should be noted that it got no first place votes, but lots of second place and no last place. Yellow/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has gunpowder, peach and some minerality. Plush texture. good acidity. On the palate, green apples with a touch of crushed shells. Nice finish. This is drinking well now and should for the next seven to ten years. A nice choice with seafood or on its own.

Chablis: History & Recommendations for the Great Burgundy White Wine

About 110 miles southeast of Paris, at the northern tip of the Burgundy wine region France lays Chablis. Chablis is the name of a village that has given its name to a region producing some of the best white wines in the world. The region of Chablis encompasses 19 towns and is about twenty by fifteen kilometers in size. In France, by law, wines are named after the place where they are fashioned and not the grape varietal. The wine producers of Chablis have spent hundreds of years determining which grapes produce the best wines for their soils and the answer: crisp, mineral-driven wines made from the Chardonnay grape.

It was interesting to try this side by side with the Vaudesir. While neither one could be called blowsy or showy, this has more presence and weight. Light golden/green in color, clear and bright. The nose is classic Chablis. Green apples, chalky minerality, slight gunpowder and slight white flowers. Full bodied. Great balance. Firm acidity. On the palate, green apples with underlying minerality and just a hint of flint/gunpowder. Long finish. This is nice on its own but needs food to really shine. Shell fish would be ideal but it went nicely with Japanese Noodles as well. This

From one of the top producers of Chablis. Impressive showing. Light gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has crushed shells, green apples, lemons and a slight waxy note. Great texture. Crisp acidity. On the palate, this is delicious. Crisp granny smith apples with crushed shells and slight lemon notes. Deep and complex. Long finish. This drinks well on its own and is very food friendly. Obviously shell fish but this went quite well with sweet potato sushi and even asparagus sushi. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.

This is a producer that I am not familiar with, but this was quite enjoyable. Like other wines from this producer, it sees no oak and is made exclusively in stainless steel. Yellow/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with lemons, slight lime and crushed shells. Also a touch of sulfur. Medium bodied. On the palate, this has crisp acidity. Flavors of lemons and lemon candy. Long finish. This is great on its own and would work nicely with seafood or soft cheeses. Drink over the next ten years. Great value.

As prices for white Burgundy in general and Chablis in particular continue to rise, it is nice to find still affordable producers making great wine. This is one such producer. the wine is made in a concrete egg and sees no oak. Light golden in color with some green hues, clear and bright. The nose is nice with crushed shells, slight chalk/minerality and lemon. Medium bodied. Lean and racy texture. Good acidity. On the palate, lemons and crushed shells. Long finish. This is drinking well now and should continue to drink well for another ten to twelve years. Nice on its own, this w
