Chablis, Burgundy, FranceDrouhin has been around since the 1880s doing business as a négociant before planting their vineyards in the early 1960s. From the south-facing slopes of the left bank, this 1er cru Vaillons presents linearly with green apple, pear, and citrus pith dusted in chalk. A stainless steel ferment lends a further steely, cool, demeanour balanced by creamy, nutty lees in the finish. Classic Chablis built to age. Taste through 2023, with oysters, of course.Tasted: 02 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:

Chablis, Burgundy, FranceFrom the left bank's south-facing slopes of 1er cru Vaillons, this drives a tight and skippy palate with anise, green apple, lemon pith nimbleness wrapping around a Bosc pear base. This streams along with a riff of sea salts, pear skin to texture. This wine was fermented and aged in stainless, on lees until racked and bottled in the following summer. Drinking well now.Tasted: 01 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:
