A Very Quaffable Chablis
Friends invited me to dinner as they really wanted me to taste this wine. They had been recommended it by a sommelier in a restaurant, tasted it and promptly bought a few bottles after they got home.
This wine was redolent of pear, yellow apple, green apple, white florals and lemon. As expected from a Chablis, it had a firm acidic line – supporting the wine but not sticking out. It had a surprisingly round and smooth mouthfeel for a Chablis with white blossom and a touch of honeysuckle coming through. Well balanced with a long finish of sweet lemon. Smooth and very quaffable.
Would pair nicely with pork, chicken and veal dishes, especially those with using a lot of green herbs, as well as seafood.
This is what life is about – good friends, good food and drinking good wine!
