La Chablisienne 2017, Saint Bris, Burgundy A.C., France: La Chablisienne, Saint Bris is a zesty, vibrant medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc made in the village of Auxerrois. Saint-Bris is the only growing area in Burgundy permitted to grow Sauvignon Blanc, small but mighty appellation making incredibly zesty, chalky, lemon meringue, bright apple and mineral flavours on the palate finishing with a brilliant acidity. Can't decide to have raw oysters or pan-fried Doré with this wine, but both will be a perfect match for it. Drink: 2019-2021. 641753 12.50% XD 750 mL  $20.95 Score: 88/100.
