2007 Billaud-Simon Chablis ($32.99)
From: Cote de Beaune, France
Grapes: Chardonnay
Color: straw colored
On the nose: lemon, Pears, and river rocks.
On the palate: Grapefruit and Lemons up front, more rocks (often referred to as minerality), nice weight with bright fresh acidity on the finish.
I have been asked by several people to use some kind of score for wines, for now I will leave it at, I really liked this wine.
