Sam Wylie-Harris, Nottingham Evening post, Belfast Telegraph... Gold rush Summer 2013Chablis is possibly the most famous (and one of the most expensive) styles of Chardonnay and it's here that producers have perfected the art of expressing the chalky terroir with pronounced minerality and lively acidity. Fresh and breezy, try Simmonet-Febvre Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons 2011 with characteristic citrus scents, green apple and pear flavours, a hint of oyster shell and a mineral-driven long finish. Andy Cronshaw, Manchester Evening News, 7th December 2013...is classic stuff - flinty, floral with a little extra expressive weight to the fruit that is often evident in Vaillons. The Herald/Wales on Sunday, Sam Wylie-Harris, 19-20 April 2014'More lean and lithe, Simonnet-Febvre Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons 2011, France is another well-known premier cru vineyard on the left bank and the wine shows crisp, invigorating green apple flavours underpinned with citrus, limey notes and a chalkiness on the long, mineral finish.' |
