2012 Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis Vieilles Vignes de Sainte Claire Chardonnay

Light straw color. Nose overwhelmed by a wave of oak, with only very deep inhalation yielding the hoped-for maritime aromas of Chablis. On the palate this is a bit thin, though the oak is more sedate than the aromatic profile would suggest, and the seashell and mineral flavors more prominent. Acidity is mediocre, inspiring little hope for the future on this one. Fevre's "Champs Royaux" offers a much better entry-level Chablis at a lower price.

Okey, the disbelief might be that they never, ever, use oak but on this particular wine, is it made with oak? "Nose overwhelmed by a wave of oak" for me, this can not be the wine you smelled when you wrote that.
