Simmonet-Febvre, «D1840», Chablis 2021

The wine has a pale lemon color. The nose is aromatic and offers a pronounced minerality. It expresses notes of slightly saline limestone, combined with notes of ripe green fruit and citrus (green apple, Reine Claude plum, lime, lemon, lime zest), as well as delicate herbaceous (blackcurrant leaf, lemon thyme) and floral notes (elderflower, acacia), accompanied by some spiciness and delicate brioche notes (vanilla, fresh brioche, nutmeg) with a fine hint of honey in the background. On the palate, the wine offers a tangy, chiseled structure, with sharp acidity and tart citrus flavors. It expresses notes of lime, lemon juice, lime zest, green apple, gooseberries, tangy green plum, as well as herbaceous touches of crushed mint, cut grass, a floral hint (acacia), as well as a fine salinity, spicy and yeasty notes on the finish (a very light touch of nutmeg, vanilla, fresh yeast). The finish is long, with lively acidity, notes of honey and brioche associated with acidulous citrus flavours. A wine with freshness, liveliness and complexity.
