Chablis Grand Cru "Blanchot" 1.5L

Chardonnay
SKU: MOCHBL1546

Voluptuous whites are richer in texture, thanks to riper fruit. Most are dry wines that feature the added flavor complexity of new oak barrel use, but a handful are lusciously-sweet late-harvested dessert wines.

FOOD PAIRING: Ideally suited to richer dishes and cooked foods, like GRILLED OR FRIED SEAFOOD, POULTRY & WHITE MEATS, plus dishes featuring BUTTER, ONIONS or NUTS.

$275

Tasting Notes
Appearance: 

Brillant yellow golden colour.

Aroma: 

Already intense and complexe nose with notes of grilled almonds and pineapple.

Palate: 

In the mouth the wine is rich with fine and elegant woodiness, good length and a finish that returns to mineral notes.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

The vintage started in the aftermath of an uneven winter, rather mild at the beginning, then very tough in the end. Therefore, the first bud breaks were long in coming as they were observed by mid-April. The spring rapidly boomed with mild temperatures which enhanced the vegetation growth. The first flowers showed up at the beginning of June and the early flowering took place under the best auspices, on average 10 days before the last 10 years.
