Champs Royaux Chablis Chardonnay

Hmmm - have to ponder this one. Seems like they went for ripeness, rather than balance

@Dawn E. Nailed the notes on this wine/vintage. Impressed, girlfriend. But we’ll take a hard right turn on the rating. We were really impressed with how it presented. Less limestone, more citrusy and moderately sweet. In some ways, similar to the Edge Hill.
A lovely gift from @Mike R 🩷

Stone fruit,white flowers, dusty chalk, mild honey, and damp straw! Flavors honestly are somewhat subdued.

Juicy - high acid, dry, lots of golden delicious apple, sharp mineral finish. Clean.

It’s fine. It is bright with some light fruit. Tastes more like a Chenin Blanc than a Chard. Again, good, but not worth the price.

Really quite delicious. Nothing to complain about. For the price I’m a buyer. Wonderful wine to start the evening.

Good Chablis by itself, however this must be enjoyed with food. The acidity, lemon, and honeysuckle open up with mild earthy notes, and a beautifully medium finish. Delicious wine for around $30
