Product Details

Tasting Notes

A rich and intense style of Chablis.

This wine has a creamy palate of melon and citrus fruits with classic minerality.

Storage Instructions

This wine is ideal for drinking now but can be kept for up to 3 years

Expert Opinion

In the press...

This is very good - intense and full of flavour, but at the same time crisp, elegant and fresh.  Great alongside the roast turkey with pecan, sausage & chestnut stuffing.

Sarah Jane Evans - BBC Good Food 01/12/2011

Of the 2008 vintage, Jane MacQuitty said: "…glorious, zesty, nutty…"

An elegant wine.

This review is for the 2008 vintage

Elegant yes. Soft and fruity as described. Does linger on the palate but lacks the flintyness of a memorable Chablis.

Poor

This review is for the 2008 vintage

I bought this as it was reduced to £9 a bottle, when Premier Cru Chablis would normally be £15. It tasted vaguely like Chablis, but nothing like a Premier Cru. I have had better ordinary Chablis than this. Very disappointed.

A very tasty wine

By Tarka

Surprisingly rich, beautifully fruity with a long aftertaste of peaches and apricots with a little pineapple thrown in. Much less cloying than "New World" Chardonnays.
