La Chablisienne - Saint-Bris Sauvignon 2015
Burgundy
White
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
This white represents the only Burgundy appellation to produce a 100% Sauvignon Blanc! A fresh wine, opening with white flowers and citrus, with a predominance of Muscat. It confirms this initial impression of freshness and lightness, with a lovely lemony persistence on the palate... Still excellent value for money!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Chablis' leading producer always delivers a faithful interpretation of the appellation, thanks to the precise, meticulous work of oenologist Vincent Bartement. As always, the wines are presented with a vintage gap, this year 2016, a complicated vintage but one in which Mont-de-Milieu fares very well. Other terroirs that are usually successful at the winery are tasting a little less well, so let's wait for the 2017s!

A modern, high-performance structure that makes a major contribution to the appellation's reputation. The Grenouilles Grand Cru is one of its flagship wines.

About the domain :
The largest producer in Chablis is one of France's finest cooperatives, as adept at sales as it is at winemaking. Among the many cuvées produced, it is necessary to know how to sort out the best, but all the wines benefit today from perfect technical mastery in pressing and ageing on lees. The great specialties are the Chablis Vieilles Vignes, with its great consistency, and the heavy-bottled Premier Crus, which rival the best produced by private cellars, not forgetting the famous Grand Cru Château Grenouilles, which should not be drunk too young! The entry-level wines have made good progress, losing their characteristic notes of reduction. La Chablisienne is in fine form!

Nice freshness. You could look for a more Sauvignon-type wine, here it's discreet but not lacking in class. And the price is very reasonable.

1° out of 3 in May 2018: not bad, nice nose, pleasant lemony palate but a little short. Drink up.

A fresh, well-balanced Sauvignon, without too much acidity. Perfect as an aperitif, with seafood or fish in sauce. Excellent value for money.
