This lovely wine comes from the only Burgundy appellation that produces a 100% Sauvignon Blanc. It offers a fresh bouquet of white flowers, opening with citrus aromas and a distinct muscat note. It confirms this initial impression of freshness and lightness with a lovely, lingering citrus finish... Always excellent value for money!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
Chablis’s leading producer consistently delivers a faithful interpretation of the appellation, thanks to the precise and meticulous work of winemaker Vincent Bartement. As always, the wines are released with a one-year delay; this year’s 2016 vintage was a challenging one, but the Mont-de-Milieu terroir fared very well. Other terroirs that the winery usually handles well taste a bit less impressive; let’s wait for the 2017s!

Rated estate (2020 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
The largest producer of Chablis is among the best cooperatives in France, demonstrating equal skill in business and winemaking. With so many cuvées produced, it can be difficult to choose, but all the wines now benefit from flawless technical expertise in pressing and aging on the lees. The standout specialties are the consistently excellent Chablis Vieilles Vignes and the Premier Crus in heavy bottles, which rival the finest offerings from private estates, not to mention the famous Grand Cru Château Grenouilles—which should not be drunk too young! The entry-level wines have improved significantly and have shed the reductive notes that once characterized them. La Chablisienne is in fine form!

It’s well-made, fresh, not too vegetal—a lovely Sauvignon! Enjoy it as an aperitif, with a salad, or with a simple appetizer.

Review by Mr. MATHIEU B. Published on November 4, 2013
Light in color, with a subtle nose; on the palate, it is pleasant and mineral-driven, with a hint of salinity and a finish supported by acidity. The wine is well-balanced.

Easy to drink, but nothing special; not particularly aromatic, nor overly tart—a good aperitif wine
