Chablis 70cl
Wines from Chablis are frequently described as having citrus and white flower aromas with dry, lean, light-bodied flavours of citrus & pear
The grapevines around the town of Chablis are almost all Chardonnay, making a dry white wine renowned for the purity of its aroma and taste
The more delicate taste profile of Chardonnay suits lighter meats and fish as the base ingredient, including chicken, quail, trout, bass, halibut, cod, clams or scallops. It also does well alongside raw fish and sushi.
Chablis rarely displays flavors of butter – an indication of oak-aging.
One of the most desirable traits in quality Chablis is a long, tingly finish of high acidity, and flint-like minerality.
Much of the lean and elegant taste of Chardonnay from Chablis is attributed to the qualities of the soil, climate, and traditions of the region.
The best food pairings take advantage of the wine’s naturally high acidity to act as a palate cleanser and work well with delicately creamy sauces.
