Chapelle Royale Chablis 2011 86 Points



New addition to Shoprite Checkers (Fourways Hyper) international wine selection, a generic Chablis (yes it is a Chardonnay!!) at R 99/bottle! simply no better price Chablis in South Africa right now, so how about the quality?

Pale bright, green yellow reflections.
Clean, moderate intensity, citrus,  green lime, chalky, recognizable as a Chablis, delicate mineral, white mushrooms and cheese rind.

Dry with high acidity, fresh, textured mid palate, touch of honey, racy, vibrant with lively citrus fruit, elegant, subtle extract, moderate alcohol of 12.5% abv, has complexity, lenght and character! Now until 2015+

Great as an aperitif or with shellfish or just plain grilled white fish with crunchy salads. Food and table friendly! Good buy.
