Domaine Hamelin Chablis, Burgundy, France
This wine is made from grapes from the plots next to the ‘premier crus’. It has the same elegance and bouquet as the premier crus, but to a lesser degree. Dry and fruity, this is a clear and light wine with aromas and flavour that develop rapidly.
It can easily be kept for 5 to 8 years.
Tasting notes:
Colour: vivid yellow with a hint of green.
Nose: still discreet with a touch of hawthorn blossom and freshness.
Palate: round, fresh and mineral. It has good length and a powerful finish.
The Chablis is served chilled (10 to 12°C) with oysters, seafood, charcuterie pâtés and deli meats, pork dishes or snails. It also goes well with goats’ cheeses and gruyere cheese.
