Clear medium yellow. Unusually for a Chablis, this was partially oak-fermented and also underwent malolactic fermentation. This treatment shows on the nose in the vanilla custard and sourdough bread aromas that accompany lime and on the palate in the melon and buttery flavours that come along with apple and lemon-lime. Thankfully, the acidity is still slicing, as one expects from a good Chablis. Could get a higher score if you like oak.
