2023 La Chablisienne Collaboration Estate Chablis "Cuvee Centenaire"

The nose is really classic, but I mean this in the best of ways. It's got a real sense of familiarity when you stick your nose in, the brain clicks and goes oh yes, I know this particular creature, in fact we've met before. Well, I guess it's a wine not a creature, but the whole sentiment still stands. Really pretty ripe apple, a little bit of warm pear, and then some pithy citrus zest and white flowers. The palate has this beautiful depth to it that you could almost fall into, and then once you get there it has a bit more weight on the palate, really giving me what I'm looking for here. I absolutely love this bottle and I can already tell I'm going to be taking a few home for sure. I think I'm going to try it with sushi first, I don't know if that's a controversial choice or not but there's a savory note that lingers on the finish that is giving me some strong umami vibes.
