Not all Chablis is made equally. It's easy to categorize the wines from this region as energetic and lean, but sometimes the fruit and the wine maker dictate the outcomes differently than what we as consumers may expect. That's part of why drinking great wines can be so exciting. Every bottle is an adventure!
