Simonnet-Febvre Chablis 2023 | Chardonnay | Chablis, Burgundy | 750ml
Simonnet-Febvre is one of Chablis' oldest and most respected négociants, with roots going back to 1840. Their Chablis is a benchmark expression of the appellation — unoaked, precise, and unmistakably mineral, shaped by the region's famous Kimmeridgian limestone soils packed with ancient marine fossils. This is Chardonnay stripped of all artifice: no oak, no butter, no softening. Just the pure, stony soul of Chablis.
The 2023 vintage opens with a lovely golden shimmer and green reflections. The nose is rich and complex — subtle floral notes, white peach, yellow plum, and that signature mineral undercurrent that only Chablis can deliver. On the palate, it's structured and harmonious, with bright acidity, chardonnay-typical fruit, and an excellent aromatic persistence through the finish.
Wine Spectator 89 Points — "An elegant style, this white evokes white peach, yellow plum and floral aromas and flavors, with fine harmony and expression. Approachable now, leaving a fresh, appealing finish."

The wine has a lovely shimmer with a pretty golden color with green reflections. The rich and complex nose is characterized by pleasant and subtle floral and mineral aromas. It has a wonderful structure in the mouth with minerality, and charming chardonnay-typical aromas. It is a harmonious wine that is not only fine and elegant, but also has an excellent aromatic persistence.
Best paired with cold with oysters, shellfish, fish, and/or goats cheese
"This has excellent freshness with notes of sea shells, sliced apples, wet stones and a touch of jasmine. Crisp and brisk, medium-bodied, with a subtle peppery spritz at the end."
