Francine et Olivier Savary, Chablis (Burgundy, France) 2018

 Chablis continues to stand out as the world’s most distinctive version of the Chardonnay grape.  Francine & Olivier Savary’s excellent 2018 Chablis reflects the best characteristics of the appellation.  The crisp green apple and lemon fruit aromas are interwoven with floral, almond, herb, honey and oyster-shell minerality.  The flavors are bright and refreshing, exemplifying the Chablisienne style.  The ripe apple and citrus flavors show lovely purity of fruit enhanced by the honey, nut and herb elements.  The texture is surprisingly rich, making this a delicious and thoroughly enjoyable Chablis.
