Why this wine
Chablis is Chardonnay grown on ancient marine limestone, and it tastes almost nothing like Chardonnay from anywhere else — steely, saline, unoaked. The clearest demonstration in wine that place matters more than grape.
Our advantages:
Description
How it tastes
Lively, suave and mineral, with citrus, floral and herbaceous notes over a fresh, crisp palate with real weight and a flinty finish.
The producer
Michel Gayot grew up among the vines and describes a visceral attachment to the earth and what it gives when properly cared for. Chablis has a continental climate — cold winters let the vine rest, which is part of what gives the wine its tension.
Food and drinking
Good with seafood, salads and poultry & pork. Ready now, and will hold for a few years yet. Serve at 10–12°C.
