Chablis William Fevre 2006 , France 12.5% £26
Typical of what decent Chablis should taste like - 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. The kind of wine that gets nicer as you go along.
