Henri De Villamont Chablis 75cl

Clean, crisp, and quietly flexing, this Chablis is the bottle you grab when you want Chardonnay with zero heaviness and all the energy.

Chablis sits in northern Burgundy, where cool weather and limestone-rich soils push the wine toward citrus, green fruit, and that mouthwatering mineral edge that makes you reach for another sip.

• Appearance: Pale straw with green highlights, bright and clear
• Nose: Lemon zest, green apple, white flowers, plus a wet-stone, sea-breeze kind of minerality
• Taste: Dry and lively, with crisp citrus and orchard fruit, bracing acidity, and a salty, chalky snap that keeps it razor-focused
• Body: Light to medium-bodied, more refreshing than creamy
• Finish: Clean, long, and mineral, like a squeeze of lemon over oysters

This is a go-to for seafood nights, sushi runs, and anything with goat cheese or fresh herbs, because that bright acidity cuts through richness and wakes up delicate flavours instead of smothering them.

If you’re used to rounder, oakier Chardonnay, this is the “ohhh, I get it now” style, same grape, totally different attitude.

It also shines as a host bottle. It feels classic, it’s easy to pair, and it never hijacks the conversation.

Fun Fact: Chablis is Chardonnay, but the region’s cooler climate and limestone-heavy soils (packed with ancient marine fossils) are a big reason it tastes so crisp and flinty compared to richer styles from warmer areas.
