This wine has me interested in Chablis again. I tasted it at a tasting party we had with some friends, and one of the group had brought it back from France. The people who brought it kindly offered to buy some more if anyone was interested, so I took them up on it.
It's a Chablis from the Beauroy Premier Cru vineyard. It's oaked (unlike a lot of Chablis), which adds some welcome complexity. I prefer oaked Chardonnay, and previous attempts at Chablis were met with mostly indifference on my part.
Toasty vanilla oak, rich fruit, and good acidity sums it up. Chardonnay at its best.
