La Chablisienne "Fourchaume Les Vaulorent" 1er Cru Vintage: 2001 Purchased: Aug 1st 2007 Price: $18.99 Purchase Location: Garagiste - (http://www.garagistewine.com/) Categories: Burgundy - Chardonnay - France - White

Tasting Notes:

Kathrine made a risotto, and I thought the crisp acidity of a Chablis would be able to cut through the creaminess of the dish. This wine was a very golden color in the glass. The nose was not fruity at all and very much different from your run of the mill chardonnay. There was pear and apple on the nose, and a touch of lemon zest; but the main component was a wet rockiness. In the mouth the acids were vibrant and worked great with the food. The apple and lemon were still there, and the minerality shone through well. If there is a flaw with this wine it would be that the acid and muted fruit seemed to be slightly out of balance when drinking the wine without food.
