About the wine
Crème-de-la-crème French Chardonnay from a protected historic vineyard
- Benjamin's Premier Cru Chablis is gloriously creamy with lemon curd flavor (and ages so beautifully!). No wonder the ancient Kimmeridgian soil vineyards of Chablis are such a point of pride.
- The Forêts vineyard (nestled in the subclimate of Montmains) is special. As a Premier Cru, Forêts is one of the top vineyards in France – historically protected by the United Nations. And you fund this wonderful Chardonnay.
- Benjamin's Chablis deserves royal treatment. Serve alongside fresh oysters, scallops or a big helping of moules-frites. Slurp, sip and bask in the afterglow.
Best before
2018 was particularly warm, so I would say peak drinking is in 2022-2023, but it can be aged another couple of years.
Serving advice
Chill and open 10 minutes before serving.
Food match
Goat cheese and roasted chicken.
Contains sulphites
