What to Expect

Chablis is a region of France's Burgundy region responsible for some of the most distinctive expressions of the Chardonnay grape. On the limestone rich soils of the area, Chardonnay produces wines that can be steely, yet rich with orchard fruits and mineral tones. Unlike the typical white Burgundy, most Chablis sees little or no new oak which allows the grape to express itself with a purity that barrel aging can obscure. Often quite reticent in their youth, Chablis may require several years of ageing in order to be able to fully express the depth and richness it keeps in reserve.

Editorial Reviews

Rating: 90/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 10/09 This has the classic finesse limestone soils bring to the fruit of Chablis. It's not aggres sive, just young, broad-shouldered and strong. There's a waxy scent, that limestone minerality and the incipient flavor of pale, juicy chardonnay. The tight acidity makes it a candidate for five to ten years of aging.

Rating: 91/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 10/09 Reticent at first, this yields little beyond hints of spice and flecks of minerals. The spice broadens with air, the wine still relatively light in weight but with a delicate richness that sustains it. Not for now: This needs ten years of age before it will show itself, but all indications are that it will be lovely. Drouhin owns 3.5 acres in this cru and has farmed it under biodynamics since 1999.
