Yes, the Prehy Chablis has been on my radar before, so was very pleasantly surprised with that substitution. Hows it compare with the Ligny '08?
You've mentioned before there seems some bottle variance. The one we had on New Years Day was one of the better ones I have had, it was really good. It was a bottle I had given to my in-laws as a gift a couple of months ago.
The Dom Prehy Chablis is a more consistent and a more satisfying wine overall. Leesy, more body and depth, yet nicely bright with very correct fruit. The Chat Ligny suffered from bottle variance. I've drunk about 14 or 15 in the end (my house white). The first 3 were little princesses for sure, the next box of 6 were good, the last box of 6 bought 3 months later, and found at the top of a shelf stacking replenishment area, were losing it, due to very poor storage in the Summer I recon...... and now the little princess had some wrinkles, which were very apparent in a wine that relies heavily on it's juvenile freshness. Unfortunately, I mixed them up on the rack. But when Ligny was good it was great for a fiver, like Decanter said. The Dom Prehy is supposed to be £13, so, there you go. These two chablis are quite similar in style, so when Ba said
that about the Ligny, I knew he was
not up for the Dom Prehy at all.
