Reviews and Ratings

Alex & Priya - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Priya: I love the smell of freshly baked bread! Oh wait, that's just the yummy yeasty smell of this chablis and who doesn't love a good chablis?
Alex: You nailed it with the bread, Priya, but there's much more there than that. Such a deep, complex nose of bread, lime leaf, celery sprout, seashell, green apple and chives!
The palate is light and airy but with expansive flavour that coast every nook of the mouth, trips every sensor delicately. It's limey and saline with, luscious creamy texture and riveting acidity--but not austere at all.
Priya: Who doesn't love a good chablis? Who am I kidding, I'd never heard of chablis before Alex came along. This one's nice, I can't lie. It has a lemony tang to it that sticks around long after the wine is gone. The almost $50 price tag sticks around too, on my visa bill that is. As much as I like it, that's too rich for my blood.
Alex: I disagree, Priya, this is fine wine and a steal at the price. Don't hesitate, pick one up today!
