It poured a lovely light gold and that first sip was a delight of juicy liveliness. My first thought was that it was a perfect "summer" wine. One that I would love to sip out on the deck while reading a good book or lounging in the pool. It is clear, crisp and bright. Perfect all by itself but I do like having a glass of wine with dinner each night.
The sun has been out all week here in Michigan and the temps are warming. I was making Grilled Shrimp Skewers for dinner and knew that this wine would pair nicely with them. It is smooth and well rounded with the buttery heaviness that I love in Chardonnay.
I am anxious to take a look at the others pairings as I still have two lovely bottles of Chablis that I am looking forward to opening. Hope to see you at chat today. Be there or Be Square as they say.......
You got it rewritten! Sorry for the hassles. And, for what it's worth, I do see the padlock on your url, meaning that it IS secure. Phew. Love your dish, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks and now when I went in to look at my comments. The original post was back in draft form.....so frustrating.
DeleteGood Morning Wendy! I'm glad to see the day is off to a good start! I remember having a Petit Chablis a while back and noting that it didn't have any overt butter notes, there can be so much diversity in styles in this region, but all with that underlying brightness of Chablis. There is so much variety with soil,aspect and then winemaking choices. It makes it really fun to explore.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does, that's what makes wine tasting so interesting and so much fun.
DeleteWarming temps and Chablis naturally lead to grilled shrimp. Makes sense and sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteTo me too Linda. LOL.
DeleteThe Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis is lean and clean. I love it a lot too. The grilled shrimp skewers look great. If there's no rain, I'll open my BBQ on Memorial Day weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove BBQ Season....enjoy Pinny.
DeleteI so glad you were able to get this back up! Big sigh of relief! And this wine sound lovely with the shrimp skewers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole and thanks for hosting and arranging the samples.
DeleteChablis is definitely a great wine for the warmer weather and lighter fare. The Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis was light and crisp and perfect for grilled shrimp.
ReplyDeleteI like the twist to shrimp by grilling it. It probably adds a little smokey edge to the wine that would pair with that lemon pop. Yum!
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice pairing Deanna.
