Chablis A.C., Domaine Pascal Bouchard, 2007 (1) |
£28.95 |
|
|

Chablis is Chardonnay at it's most elegant, the flavour owes less to the grape and more to the soil in which they were grown. There is a mineral quality to the wine which combined with the crisp acidity makes this an uplifting wine drinking experience. |

Sancerre A.C., Domaine Claude Chatelain, 2007 (1) |
