The benchmark Chablis grand cru: powerful and saline, with citrus, oyster shell and a long mineral finish.

What it pairs with

  • Chablis oysters
    The wine's saline, oyster-shell minerality is the textbook match for raw oysters on ice.
  • Roast turbot in beurre blanc
    A rich grand-cru white carries the firm white fish and its buttery sauce without being overwhelmed.

    The dumpling's creamy crayfish sauce meets a taut white Burgundy that cuts the richness and lifts the shellfish.
