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.

A nice maturing Chablis that still wears a bit too much oak, particularly on the finish where it is a bit caramelly but the crisp apple fruit and notes of pastry and nuts add good complexity. While the oak tends to intrude a touch the structure if fine keeping this full of verve and cleansing on the finale. 88pts

Very nicely aged - a lot of oxidation resulting in a rich caramel taste. There's a still a lot of oak, and the fruit is thinning, but plenty of green apples to go.

Rich, leesy, Champagne-like nose dominated by fresh apple. Very intense apple butter flavor framed by zippy acids. Finishes quite long, with excellent grip. Guffens stirred the lees until the end of the malolactic fermentation to fill out the wine's ... Stephen Tanzer. A Chardonnay wine from Burgundy in France. 1999 Verget Chablis Bougros 750ml
