Chardonnay

Chablis, France.  A classical wine with aromas of flint stone and a subtle trace of butter. Crisp and abrupt in the mouth with a delicate, complexity and a substantial definite finish reminding us of the stony vineyards...

Chablis, France.  A beautiful, transparent colour of golden green. To the nose, subtle and creamy. To the palette, a suggestion of butter with classical mineral notes and hints of hazelnut and gunpowder. Long and intense in the mouth and a supple finish...

Chablis, France. Clear yellow. Fruity, crisp and precise lively and mineral. Fresh finish...

Chablis, France. After airing, this wine presents a perfect balance between fresh minerality and very ripe fruit. The mouth is warm, delicious and salty, with a spicy cinnamon finish...

Chablis, France. "Here too there is an abundance of Chablis character present on the citrus and cool floral aromas that include notes of tidal pool, shellfish and algae. There is a bit more volume and concentration to the medium-bodied flavours that possess a refreshing salinity and driving minerality on the muscular, balanced and long finish. This won't win any awards for refinement but I really like the bold flavour authority..."

Chablis, France. The Chablis Forêts is a little richer and more powerful than the Montmains owing to the slightly warmer microclimate. At the same time, the heavy presence of limestone in these soils yields a wine with bright, saline-infused minerality and considerable steely tension...

This is quite fine with good detail and plenty of minerality to the medium weight flavours that deliver excellent length if perhaps not quite the same depth as the Vaillons. That said, this is very pretty in its own right...

Chablis, France.  A notably floral nose enjoys excellent breadth with its nuances of citrus, algae, pear and ocean breeze. This is notably richer than the Séchets with more volume as well to the mineral-inflected flavours that terminate in a clean, dry and beautifully complex finale. This is really quite pretty and should drink well both young and with 5 to 7 years of age...

Chablis, France. This is riper still with notes of yellow orchard fruit, citrus blossom, ocean breeze and a hint of iodine. The attractively textured flavours possess both good energy and an appealing salinity before concluding in a finer but not nearly as long or complex finale. This is certainly good but the old vines Butteaux offers another dimension...
