You see the theme, at some point in the week, we get a treat.  This is probably it for the week.

Tonight we have a Chablis Premier Cru from the wine society's Exhibition Range.  The brief for this range is to "be flagship examples of their regions and styles".  So far I haven't been dissapointed.

On the nose this wine is quite reserved showing hints of honey, white fruit and herbs.

It is in the mouth that it really comes to life.   On entry, so to speak, a full round mouthfilling richness, dry as a bone, but with a really lively acid length with a good slob of minerality that Chablis is known for,  that keeps you wanting more.  This is't exciting,in wine rock and roll way, but is just lovely.

Being my first "posh" Chablis this has been a bit of an eye opener in comparison to the sometimes watery and steely, cheap supermarket and wine bar chablis, not that these do not have a place.

A bit pricey for an everyday, even weekend wine, but i would buy again at the drop of the hat.
