Wednesday Chablis

A couple of weeks ago I drank a 2005 Domaine d’Elise Chablis at a picnic, but did not provide a proper note for it. Now is that time, as I had time to properly consider it before dinner yesterday evening.

The wine is light and bright in colour, with a greenish tinge. The nose shows nuts, butter and grape fruit. The palate is tight and fine, with up front citrus flavours, an underlying butteriness and cleansing acid. On opening up in the glass, the nose and palate show characteristic wet-stone minerality. The finish is lingering with faint nut and caramel notes. An elegant, well-made, classic Chablis.
