When crafted by a skilled producer, Chablis is worth the countless column inches and plaudits heaped on the region and its wines. And in this case, it’s crafted by the team at Albert Bichot, makers of fine Burgundy since 1831. Although the family have a proud heritage to look back to, they’re focussed firmly on the future. They practise sustainable agriculture, ever mindful of the legacy they leave for future generations. The care they exhibit in the vineyard follows through to the winery, which in turn shines through to the wine in your glass. This fine Chablis was aged on its lees for 10 months to add creamy complexity to this elegant, pure fruit white, brimming with green apple and citrus. It makes a fine apéritif or partner for seafood.
Producer/négociant Maison Albert Bichot was founded in Beaune in 1831 and
remains family-owned, with Albéric Bichot currently at the helm. Despite being a
significant player in Burgundy (it’s the leading buyer at the celebrated
Hospices de Beaune auction), Maison AB leads the way in sustainability and
manages to maintain the ethos and accessibility of a much smaller artisanal
grower.

Wine of France.This noble white wine is produced from grapes grown in the south-east facing Beblenheim commune in the pretty region of Alsace. Often referred to as the king of white grape varieties, Riesling has exceptional attributes that can produce exquisite white wines. Known for its floral, mineral character and racy, firm acidity, good Riesling has a lightness of touch and yet a very pervasive, precisely defined palate. Alsatian Rieslings have all this, coupled with a rich depth of flavour. Pale yellow in colour, highly aromatic with a lemony character and a crisp, fresh palate, this Kleinfels Riesling has a sublime complexity. Layers of citrus fruit and a steely mineral backbone support the bright acidity right through to a long, ethereal finish. Beblenheim's Kleinfels Riesling is best enjoyed chilled as a refreshing aperitif, or is perfect with crab salads, baked fish, white meat or poultry dishes. Fabulous with eastern cuisine.
