This is white wine made from Chardonnay grape in the Chablis region in the North of Burgundy, France. I tasted this wine during the Maison Louis Jadot wines by Mr. Olivier Masmondet at the Hilton Chennai. He described this wine as “Happy wine” a refreshing wine, that makes you smile.
It s a bright Golden yellow coloured wine
On the nose it has a fresh buttery, fresh tropical fruit aroma with a hint of pepper
On the palate it has a fresh fruity taste, with a mineral and oak taste and acidic. It has a medium finish.
This Wine pairs well with Grilled Fish, Osters and Goat Cheese.

Chablis is an historic wine-producing town in northern-central France. It produces light, dry white wines famed for their minerality and crisp acidity. AOC Chablis wines are produced exclusively from Chardonnay.
Chablis is located in northern Burgundy, although the town and its vineyards are located a considerable distance (more than 60 miles/100 km) north-west of Burgundy's main wine-producing areas around Nuits-Saint-Georges, Beaune, Chalon-sur-Saone and Macon. They are in fact closer to Sancerre (Loire) and Les Riceys (southern Champagne). Consequently, Chablis has a cooler climate than the rest of Burgundy, which contributes significantly to the style of wine its vineyards produce. The effects of terroir on wine can be seen more clearly in Chablis than almost anywhere else.

This is a White wine made of the Chardonnay varietal, This is made in a Premier cru vineyard, belonging to the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation the Burgundy region of France. I tasted this wine on 6/9/2009 at the Vintage bank at Hilton Chennai, during a tasting presentation by Mr. Olivier Masmondet of Maiso Louis Jadot.

Olivier described this wine as a wine that “Makes you Think” and distinctly different from the Chablis which made you smile! He described this as a Classic feminine wine. There are only 80 barrels produced of this wine a year. So i guess we were pretty fortunate to get our hands on this vintage.

This is a straw yellow coloured wine.
On the nose, it has the aroma of honey, fresh fruit and a hint of lemon.
On the palate this is an extremely well balanced, full bodied wine with a fuity taste with a hint of peach and lemon.
This wine paired well with Smoked Salmon and Chicken and asparagus Roulade.
