Of all white wines, Chablis is perhaps the most versatile when it comes to matching with food because of its vibrant acidity. Straw coloured with a nose of white flowers and green apples, this one is fresh and lively on the palate; medium-bodied, with a lemony, minerally, green apple flavour and good mid-palate fruit.
Food match: smoked salmon, Camembert
