When I go into a French-style restaurant in the U.S. and want a glass of good white wine, I generally think of a basic Chablis. To me, Chablis is to French white wine what the little black dress is to French fashion – and what better couturier than Louis Jadot? This vintage’s starter wine (after Petit Chablis) is medium-bodied with crisp apple flavors, lots of stony minerality and a lift of light creaminess at the end which keeps it from being severe.
