This wine has been nothing short of a phenomenon. Gaining a huge following in just two releases. The new 2008 is cast in a similar mould, being really fresh and zesty.

Grapefruit and elderflower on the nose along with classic herbaceous notes. It's got lovely

fruit on the palate and is properly dry. Zesty lime and lemon with grapefruit and elderflower

13. Chablis La Colombe 2008, France 12.5%

Typical of what decent Chablis should taste like - not a trace of oak, pungent and flinty

on the nose with a tad of creamy fruit underneath, this gets richer as the mineral characters

give way to riper buttery sensations but then cut back by a long crisp bite.
