NORTHERN Burgundy's classic French white made from Chardonnay grapes often disappoints at this sort of price with weak, characterless efforts.
This award-winning example will however please those who like their Chablis to have a mineral edge and identifiable apple and sage tastes.
The clay-limestone soils of the appellation provide a subtlety not found in many Aussie Chardonnays.
