Chablis is a wine all us Irish love to drink and with all the different producers and styles of Chablis on the market it can be confusing. If I was to think of one that is a true expression of what a good fruit friendly Chablis is all about, with a nice streak of minerality and at the right price point, I will go straight to Bernard Defaix Chablis. It is a small family run winery in Burgundy with a dynamic young couple running the show, Helen Defaix popped into the shop a few weeks ago to show us her vast array of fine wines which, I must say, each one was better then the next. The 2009 Chablis has the classic nose of citrus and honey. The palate is medium body with great purity and minerality on the finish. One of the purest Chardonnay I have tried in a long time, and coming in at €14.99 is well worth a try. I had this with some fresh sea bass and it worked wonders for my cooking!
Enjoy,
Julie.
