La Chablisienne – Les Venerables Chablis – 2018
$38.00
100% Chardonnay
Smoky wisps of gunflint and lime zest lend complexity to this chalky, freshly balanced Chablis. Anchored by a zesty spine of acidity, the medium-bodied but zippy dry white has a luscious white-grapefruit finish. The elegant wine is ready now but will likely maintain peak through 2026.

La Chablisienne
Since 1923 at Chablis in Burgundy, the meticulous care of the vine-growers working together under the banner of La Chablisienne has given birth to wines whose magnificence is amplified by the passage of time. These wines, coming from a mosaic of "climats", or vineyard plots, provide a pallet of emotions marked with a truly mineral touch.
Chablis, half way between Paris and Beaune, forms the real gateway to Burgundy ’s treasure-house of wines. The vineyards, lying on both sides of the River Serein, cover 6,800 hectares (some 17,000 acres) in 20 villages. Of the 4,700 hectares in production, La Chablisienne alone represents nearly 25% and produces every one of the Chablis appellations.
