Wine of the Week

18th July 2005

2002 Chablis, Cuvée Claude Dominique,
Burgundy, France, £8.99, Tesco Finest

A lot of commercial Chabils is rather flat and bland – and sells for several quid less than this. Tesco Finest makes trading up worthwhile, because this is anything but bland. It’s very dry, with a meaty, oatmeal flavour of yeast that the French call ‘sauvage’ and a strong streak of minerals, as though the vines have their roots deep in the mother lode.
