Not classic minerality and flinty dryness one expects in a classic Chablis, but an excellent wine with food. paired perfectly with grilled escolar fillets prepared as here: http://www.californiaoliveranch.com/recipes/main-dishes/grilled-herb-marinated-fish-on-a-bed-of-white-beans. Green apple. Pie spice. Crisp acidity.

A mid priced Chablis from Domaine Savary, from a small .75 hectare vineyard, 30 year old vines. Fermented and aged in stainless, aged on the lees.
Yellow straw color. A little less detectably 'Chablis' on the nose, notes of green apple and white pear. In the mouth its a bit more steely on the mid palate and finish. Slightly rounder front and mid palate with red apple and lime, a modest finish of tangerine.

After having the 2010 version of this just last weekend, this was really disappointing. Some Chablis brothiness, but fatter, less focused and more woody than that mini-laser of a wine. I will definitely pass on this one.
