Simonnet-Febvre Description
Situation
This vineyard is situated on the left bank of the Serein river, and has an ideal south-westerly aspect. The soils of the left bank are less clay-like than those of the right bank. This wine is one of the most highly-rated left-bank Chablis.
Tasting and food pairings
It is an excellent example of the characteristics of a Chablis wine: freshness, acidity, minerality and notes of flowers and fruit. Well-rounded and charming, this wine has a final note of minerality on the palate and is a good compromise between the acidity and fruit. It is generous, with a good length and is very typical of Chablis.
Drink with seafood, grilled fish, and white meats in sauces.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
"Whiffs of yeast and sun-dried hay mingle into pert yellow cherry and greengage plum in this full-bodied but sharply honed Chablis. Pristine in fruit profile and bracing with acidity, it's a cool-toned, classically styled Chablis despite the hot vintage. Elegant in youth, it will likely improve through 2035."
