La Chablisienne (Chablis): Established in 1938, The Chablis appellation represents 65% of the production of Chablis wines. The major base comes from the Jurassic, more precisely the Kimmeridgian (some 150 million years ago) and we find in the rock tiny oyster deposits that remind us of the warm and shallow sea that then covered this territory. These comma-shaped oysters are called Exogyra virgula.
After 9 years of bottle aging, this wine has become softer with some secondary note developing. Dried nectarine, toasted almond, honey. Pleasant wine and ready now! 89.

Sound, decent, showing lime, fresh fennel and tarragon. Satisfactory density and intensity, and goes well with food, but comes across borderline generic.

A: pale lemon green N: lemon, green apple, salt. Neutral. That’s about it. P: As on nose. Medium (+) acid, dry, medium (-) alcohol (12.5%), body, medium intensity and finish C: I think it’s acceptable quality. Poor qpr at $15. Washed my mackerel down nicely. Uninspiring, however.

Very bright and fresh with a vibrant acidity and a lively citrus-note. Very elegant and fresh - still very young.

Simple, crisp, a fine daily drinker with dinner.
