Louis Latour Chablis 75 cl

This is the kind of French white wine that wakes up your whole palate. It’s Chardonnay, but not the rich, oaky, popcorn-butter style, think bright, crisp, and mineral, with that classic Chablis snap that makes seafood nights feel instantly upgraded.

Louis Latour’s take is all about clarity. Clean fruit, steady acidity, and a stony, salty edge that keeps it refreshing from first sip to last. If you’re bored of heavier whites, this is your reset button.

• Appearance: Pale straw with green highlights, bright and clear.
• Nose: Lemon peel, green apple, white flowers, plus a chalky, sea-breeze vibe.
• Taste: Citrus and tart orchard fruit up front, racy acidity through the middle, then a savoury mineral note that makes you want another sip.
• Body: Light to medium-bodied, brisk and focused.
• Finish: Dry, clean, and lingering with a salty, limestone-like freshness.

Why it matters: Chablis is a Burgundy region famous for wines that taste “cool and stony” rather than “round and creamy”. That mineral bite is what makes it so food-friendly, it doesn’t bulldoze your meal, it locks in and makes flavours pop.

This bottle is a go-to when you want something versatile but still interesting. It’s great for seafood, sushi, roast chicken, salty snacks, or anything with a squeeze of lemon involved. Also clutch for a patio pour when you want refreshment, not sweetness.

If you’re building a home lineup, this is one of those anchor whites. It hits that sweet spot of classic French wine character without feeling fussy or hard to understand.

Fun Fact: Louis Latour is still family-owned, and the house has been making Burgundy wines since 1797, which is longer than most countries have been arguing about wine on the internet.
