Top Notes For
M.T. Sritharan

This is a classic entry-level Chablis that focuses on freshness and purity rather than richness. Henri de Villamont is better known for its Côte de Beaune wines, but their Chablis is typically well-made and reliable.

What to expect

* Appearance: Pale lemon with green reflections.
* Nose: Green apple, lemon zest, pear, white flowers, and the characteristic Chablis flinty/mineral note. Since it’s 2023, expect very vibrant fruit.
* Palate: Dry, crisp, medium-bodied with lively acidity. Citrus, Granny Smith apple, a touch of white peach, chalky minerality, and a clean finish.
* Oak: Very little, if any. The emphasis is on freshness rather than buttery or vanilla notes.
