Do you love your European wines? Then make sure to grab my discount code for @popsyandjj before it runs out (details on the blog).
And a big thank you to Popsy & JJ for sending us this beauty of a sample to try!
If you want a wine to match with blue cheese, this is it!! We accidentally stumbled across the combo and oh my we were fighting over the last bit of blue cheese. What a combo!
It’s been awhile since I have had a Chablis, so I was excited to get stuck in. Chablis is a region in France, the northern most part of the Burgundy region and under law they can only use Chardonnay grapes. The wines don’t see any oak and are known for their minerality. Check out the Vins de Bourgogne Chablis website to learn more: chablis-wines.com
This Premier Cru Chablis is a pretty lemon colour in the glass with that famous minerality shining alongside lovely notes of fresh ocean air, a hint of just baked shortbread and some Vietnamese mint. In the mouth that beachy taste flows through with hints of grapefruit, apricots, and stonefruit. it’s smooth, clean and crisp. Highly enjoyable and a wonderful example of Chablis.
I also really like how there is a QR code on the back label so you can easily jump straight to more info about the wine on the Popsy & JJ website.

This is a God Chablis, but it does not live up to its pedigree of Premier Cru. Lacks depth of character. Not worth the price point.

2007 Vintage. 13% Alcohol. Still hanging in with good acidity, limestone, citrus notes. Better as it warmed and opened in the glass.

Nose: green apple, wet slate, gunflint. Taste: good body, soft fruit with lots of minerality and s clean finish. Delightful on its own, not acidic enough to pair with any strong flavors.
