Chablis: A Top-Class Cru White Wine That Doesn’t Get The Love It Deserves - Quill & Pad

Why is it that Chablis never seems to get the love it deserves? Why do so many wine lovers, even those who buy and drink Chablis wine, often dismiss it as merely a little sibling of White Burgundy? Ken Gargett considers that no matter where Chablis sits in your perception, it should not be...

quillandpad.com

In the pantheon of great years, 2017 holds a special place. In the last few years, if you are a Chablis fan and you didn’t fill your boots with this great year, may I politely ask why the hell not?

A classic year and one with great concentration, purity, and balance. They will age superbly. Low yields, and this is the problem – overall, a small vintage. The word “exceptional” is thrown around a bit much, but here it seems completely warranted.

La Chablisienne 1er Cru Cote De Lechet 2016/2017 $28.09/$29.57 @ First Choice Liquor after SITEWIDE10 for 10% off, 2777269688208 for 10% off (myColes), 7% Cashrewards - ends midnight AEST tonight

The 20 best wines of 2019 (including a surprise $10 bottle)

2017 La Chablisienne 1er Cru Cote De Lechet - Chablis $44​

Vintage Cellars have been stocking (and I have been enjoying) the wines from leading Burgundy co-operative, La Chablisienne, for many years now, and the current range is as good as ever. Being one of the country’s largest liquor chains, of course, means that Vintage Cellars can both ship ample quantities of these wines and also retail direct, avoiding third-party importer mark-up, meaning this lovely, gently honeyed, oyster-shell-dry Premier Cru Chablis not only sells for an attractive price, but is also widely available.​

'I don’t think it’s hit me': A rock’n’roll winemaker’s legacy

Taras Ochota made attention-grabbing wines with the energy and edginess of the punk music he loved to play. But then tragedy struck.

www.afr.com

2020 Ochota Barrels Slint [Adelaide Hills]​

Taras Ochota once described his winemaking approach like this: “Music and wine are so connected in so many ways. I reckon you can often see the styles of music people like in the wines they make. I like edgy music, rawer, sharper, and my wines tend to be all elbows and knees sticking out.” This stunning young chardonnay is an excellent illustration of that: nervy, saline, with layers of citrusy, nutty and mineral flavours compressed into each other, like rough-edged slate. $40​
