Oxidization over night has improved the flavour of this wine. Being a racy white style, I wonder if throwing a clean silver coin in the glass could improve matters

Jean Claude Fromont. Fort du Roi is a new line for JCF ? Bought this with double disco in the Tesco Store. Shelf discount and 25% across the board for any 6 wines. About £6.19 at the till, only one on the shelf that night. One to try, the 1st chablis on the 2011 vintage for me. On opening from a cool store, the wine is northern French chardonnay, a citrus core, quite racy, not minerally per se', honeyed nose (later from the neck of a cool bottle), quite tangy, no milky leesy attribute. When the wine opens in the glass, the faults are amplified, there is a green Elder shrub twist. Hmmnn - Too much Pip, skin and stalk from secondary fruit spoils the end flavour. At full retail price, there are nicer Chablis wines in Tesco, as well as Maj and WR. |

Worth £4.11 Glad the interweb search bought you to the Fountain of all Cheap (but not nasty) chablis knowledge
At the 62% Off clearance price - This is One for the bargain Birds I s'pose - The wine is not a Howler. Serve cold to avoid faults ! |

Ba, knowing GK, I don't think he wants six (3 may be), he'd rather have a £!5 pound chablis for £7.50. One can get tired of faults at any price ! The Berberana Reserva '07 at £4.49 is a better deal. The 2006 was good at £5.21 per bottle. The '07 not quite so good - but........you 've to move on. We have looked at '06, 07 and 08 bargain riojas. I prefered the '06s fruit for reserva time in wood - nevertheless |

Even having been unimpressed by several basic Chabs recently, I still could not resist this one at £4.11 Glad I did. Has a little backbone and displays typical flavours. Bottled by Sapin and 12.5% Once again, the double dip price makes it an automatic...
