8.6

Fresh fruit--strawberries, some raspberries, a touch of grass, but still has just enough of the characteristic Chardonnay brioche to round it out. Very pleased, especially for the price. Easy to drink and to pair. — 10 years ago

Domaine Vocoret et Fils

Chablis Chardonnay

8.5

Classic middle of the road expression of Chablis. Acidic, mineral-driven, citrusy, what a white burgundy should be. Overpriced for the expression, though. — 10 years ago

Here's the thing--overall not a great wine, but for the price at a sports bar, was a nice surprise. If you're tired of beer and desperate and at a sports bar, go for this. — 10 years ago

8.0

One of the frutier chards I've tasted--like baked golden apples and pears. Bit of melon and caramelized peach. Some toasted almonds and burnt caramel. Fairly alcoholic but decent acidity keeps it from being too hot. Solid expression. — 10 years ago
