  Sampled several times at the wine sampling machinery at Papa Joe's in Rochester Hills, Michigan. About $1 per ounce. Good and refreshing.

  Nice minerality and balance. In comparison to the Taburno Falanghina, the Chablis was cleaner and less tart on the palate. It had a nice finish, and it worked well with food. I would drink this wine again, but I would not rush down to Kermit Lynch to buy a bottle because it doesn't have a lot of complexity.

  $21.99 retail, before discount. Tasted side by side with the 2005 Savary Chablis, also imported by Kermit Lynch and priced similarly... For me, the Savary has a slightly more subdued but also slightly fresher nose. Aromas of minerals and light citrus. The Lavantureaux has a slightly more intense and marginally broader nose that brings in a touch of herbs and a faint beeswax note. Solid acidity. On the palate, the Savary is cleaner, with nice core of minerals and somewhat rigid citrus fruit. I enjoyed both of these traditionally made, classically styled Chablis.
