  Appearance: Bright and clear, it has light lemon color, with wide watery rims and legs.
  Nose: Clean, with medium (-) intensity of citrus fruit of lemon and lime, green fruit of grapefruit, floral notes of acacia, mineral notes of steely. The wine is youthful.
  Palate: Dry with high acidity, the wine has medium alcohol and medium (-) body, demonstrating medium (-) intensity of flavors including citrus fruit of lemon, green fruit of grapefruit, mineral notes of steely, floral notes of acacia. The wine has a medium (-) finish.
  Conclusion: Good quality Chablis with the typical varietal characters on the nose, though not having much intensity and complexity, the wine is refreshing, with the signature high acidity of the region. Not much on concentration and length, however, but nevertheless a nice wine to drink young and chilled, not intend for further ageing.

  Practice your White Wine Blind Tasting, with Anne McHale MW (Berry Bros & Rudd, London): Tasted blind, in the one region 3 different wines flight. Deduced Chablis.
  Light apple, citrus, green fruits in general. Quite high on the acidity side,no oak, mineral. In a way linear on the flavour side, medium on the Alc front and relatively smooth. a good 86 from us.
