Domaine du Colombier Chablis, 2021

Benchmark Chablis

This Chablis is a classic example of the wonders of good unoaked Chardonnay from the famed kimmeridgian soil of this appellation. Bright, intense and vibrant with its joyous classic flintiness, totally dry yet displaying that slight honeyed richness typical of the higher premier cru appellations. 

• Unoaked Chardonnay
• Dry, flinty, intense
• An exhilarating AOC Chablis that mirrors a premier cru

Food Pairing: It will partner well with shellfish, burgundian snails,  be compelling as an apéritif, glorious with Comté cheese Gougères, and great with fish and chips!

Cellaring: Enjoy now and over the next three to five years.
