| 75 | | | 94 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Someone I know years ago used to think of Chablis as sweet, ugly-tasting American plonk. I’ve always thought the Chablis producers had a real case to make in griping about how such products damaged their brand. She was proof. Well, that’s fixed. A few weeks ago, she bought an entire case of this Chablis! As prices shoot upward on Chablis, this is a major bargain and a great value. Medium- full-bodied with a bright pale yellow color. Aromas fairly leap out of the glass, bringing lime blossom and peel among other citrus characters. The flavors are just amazing, with citrus characters and a lovely stony minerality for added interest. Lively, with bright acidity, the wine was vinified in stainless steel. This is the polar opposite of fat, unctuous, buttery California Chardonnays, a style that turns off a fair number of consumers. You won’t even think it’s the same grape. Serve moderately cooled, about 50ºF/10ºC, in medium-sized tulip-shaped glasses. Foods: Simply prepared seafood, grilled scallops with a white wine butter sauce; poached or steamed mild white fish (sole, flounder, tilapia), crab cakes (simple crab meat with a little bread crumb, no aggressive seasonings); seafood terrines on a creamy sauce with minced chives.
