Alain Geoffroy Chablis

Alain Geoffroy Chablis. Chardonnay, which covers everything from lean and flinty to rich and buttery.

Think stone fruit and citrus, with however much oak the maker wanted to show. How it lands depends on the barrel: unoaked versions stay tight and citrusy, oaked ones pick up a creamy, nutty weight.

Most are made to drink now, though the better ones hold for a few years. Good with roast chicken, soft cheese or anything off the barbecue.
