🏰 The 2012 vintage in Chablis was capricious yet appealing, with a mixed spring and early summer, but improved conditions in late August. Ripeness was slow, occurring under overcast skies, followed by a fine weather spell in September that allowed for glorious picking. This 'cold maturity' vintage produced elegant and aromatic wines capable of long aging. La Chablisienne, a significant producer, accounts for nearly 25% of the Chablis appellation's output. This wine offers a bouquet of fresh mint with notes of butter and vanilla. It reveals great finesse, like lace, with a balance between acidity and richness indicating promising cellaring potential. Professional reviews highlight apple blossom, lime flower, flint, and light peachy aromas, a well-balanced palate with a slightly honeyed entry, and acidity cutting through to a rich, decadent honeyed finish. Other notes include flinty, seashell touches, pure orchard fruits, concentrated and intense fruit, saltiness, and a long finish. 【Elegant and age-worthy Chablis Grand Cru from a capricious yet appealing vintage】. 🍴 It pairs beautifully with shellfish, crab, and lobster.
