Simonnet Febvre Chablis Premier Cru 2022
Hailing from the historic Chablis region of Burgundy, France, this Premier Cru is a quintessential expression of its northern terroir. Established in 1840 by barrel maker Jean Febvre, Maison Simonnet Febvre is one of the oldest wineries in the region and has been owned by Maison Louis Latour since 2003. Under the leadership of director and winemaker Paul Espitalié, the estate maintains its independent winemaking philosophy, focusing on sustainable vineyard management and traditional techniques to craft wines that prioritize purity, elegance, and a clear sense of place.
Wine Description
This 100% Chardonnay pours a pale golden colour, often tinged with subtle green reflections. The nose is complex and delicate, offering an aromatic bouquet of white flowers, acacia, and ripe orchard fruits like pear and white peach, underscored by classic flinty and mineral notes. On the palate, the wine is well structured and medium bodied, showcasing a succulent yet elegant texture with flavors of candied citrus, yellow apple, and a distinct chalky minerality. It is characterized by its flawless balance between generous fruit ripeness and a vibrant, electrical acidity that leads into a persistent, saline, and iodized finish.

James Suckling – 95 points
Food Pairing
The wine's bright acidity and mineral core make it a versatile companion for sophisticated cuisine. It pairs exceptionally well with fresh seafood, such as grilled fish, oysters, or prawn bisque, as well as white meats served in creamy sauces.
