Chablis is one of France's most recognised appellation and is well known for its unoaked flinty chardonnay wines. Fresh and vibrant in youth developing more pronounced minerality with age. Simonnet-Febvre's Chablis is available bottled under cork and screwcap.
Tasting note
A fresh, vivacious style, with intense floral, lemon and lime aromas. The palate is fresh and balanced combining full generous fruit flavours with a steely mineral finish.
Awards and Accolades
Bronze Medal
Wonderful expression of Chablis, with fresh honeysuckle and apple blossom notes alongside ripe, white-fleshed pear and yellow plum on the nose. With a Mediterranean character to the fruit, medium bodied, well-made palate also shows a high minerality with flinty character. Sommelier Wine Awards 2011
90/100, Wine Spectator's Advance Oct 2011
'Aromas of oyster shell and wet stone overlay melon and ripe apple in this round Chablis, which is open and supple, with a lingering, juicy finish that shows citrus accents. Drink now through 2014.'
