Chablis

2008 Chablis Chardonnay

The Roux Pere & Fils Chablis from the 2008 vintage is a stunning representation of Chardonnay, showcasing the unique terroir of the Chablis region. This white wine displays a brilliant pale straw color with shimmering reflections. On the palate, it offers a medium body that gracefully balances its refreshing high acidity, resulting in a mouthwatering experience that is both vibrant and lively. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing notes of green apple, pear, and citrus, intertwined with delicate hints of flint and minerality that Chablis is renowned for. The wine is dry, and its subtle, well-integrated tannins provide a smooth structure that supports the complex flavors. A delightful choice for lovers of elegant white wines, this Chablis invites exploration and pairs beautifully with seafood and creamy cheeses.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
