Domaine Hamelin Chablis 1er Cru ‘Vau Ligneau’ 2022, Burgundy, France

A good Chardonnay should be as dry as oak without sacrificing delicacy or subtlety. This is a balancing act that Domaine Hamelin pull off admirably, softening the oak edges of this white wine with hints of butter and coconut. It's the latter taste sensation that lingers here, creating a memorable drinking experience, though the aroma of citrus, apple and lilies are also a treat for there senses. A bone-dry finish ensures that this wine is wholly refreshing and effortlessly elegant. Ideal to pair with a light meal or simply to enjoy alone, chilled on a summer's day.
