Chablisienne

I was tasted on these wines last week and was struck by their quality and incredible value (and this was before seeing any of the ratings)! These wines are wonderful expressions of 2007, 2008 and 2009 Chablis with powerful minerality, incredibly ripe fruit and excellent aging potential. The style is it’s own – and well worth a look. For those of you who wanted to score some Chablis in a great vintage and have been looking for a phenomenal deal – look no further.

The winery got their very special name in 1938 by being the first in the new Chablis appellation to designate their winery name. Along with making fantastic wines that they don’t charge an arm and a leg for – they also have a monopole in Grenouille! Take note: the Burghound agrees wholeheartedly with me.

An usual offering – the St Bris appellation is Sauvignon blanc made just outside the Chablis AOC. It is so delicious, in fact, that the French decided to give it AOC status in 1974. It is exactly what you would expect: laced with minerality, beautifully rich and round, and an amazing value. It’s dangerously delicious.

A wonderfully rich white that will knock your friends out and make your mouth happy. All who love French Chardonnay will swoon and be in shock that this lovely bottle is only $17.99.

“Here too there is an application of wood that still allows the ripe, pretty and relatively elegant green fruit and oyster shell aromas to express themselves while remaining in accord with the rich, full and delicious medium-bodied flavors that possess both excellent volume and a citrusy character on the palate staining finish. Lovely and understated.”

Burghound 92 – Outstanding!
“There is a slightly exotic character to the yellow orchard fruit aromas that are trimmed in a deft touch of oak that gives way to ripe, pure, rich and full-bodied flavors that possess a textured mouth feel and fine length on the well-muscled and powerful finish. Worth a look.”

“A background touch of wood frames heavily citrus-infused aromas cut by tidal pool hints that are picked up by the precise, racy and intensely mineral flavors that culminate in a tangy but ripe finish that is supported by a moderately firm acid spine. In sum, this is good without being special.”

“The evident wood that was present last year has been almost completely absorbed, allowing the ripe floral, sea breeze and citrus aromas to have center stage while perfectly complementing the detailed, precise, intense and explosive medium full-bodied flavors that possess real focus and drive on the backend. An impressive and very classy effort packed with the potential to develop well. In a word, terrific.”

This is a Monopole.

“The old vine character and concentration is evident because even though the nose is still so primary that fermentation aromas dominate, the intense, rich, pure and relatively refined full-bodied flavors are brimming with sève and completely stain and coat the mouth on the beautifully long finish.”
WS 94 “This white is intense in aroma, firm in structure and complex in flavor. Lemon zest, yellow plum and floral notes build around a core of mineral as it develops and changes across the palate. Terrific aftertaste. Best from 2013 through 2030. 750 cases made”.
