Chablis is a wine district within the Burgundy region in northern France. Chablis wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the vicinity of the town of Chablis where the cool climate and the soils result in grapes with high acidity and low fruitiness. The wine is made under strict regulation to achieve a quality dry wine, usually aged entirely in stainless steel.
Chablis wine is classed in four levels based on the quality of the vineyards. Grand Cru Chablis is the highest classification and it represents grapes grown in only seven vineyards. Premier Cru comes from vineyards second only to the Grand Cru vineyards.
Kirkland Premier Cru is made from grapes grown in Montmains and Bouregard Vineyards. The wine is 100% Chardonnay aged in stainless steel for 12 months, achieving 13% alcohol. As you would expect, it is a light, acidic, crisp wine with lemon flavors and some minerality. We drank the wine shortly after bringing it home and it had not chilled to optimum temperature. We enjoyed the wine but I certainly recommend that you drink it at approximately 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Costco is selling this wine for $14.99 which is a very good price for a Chablis Premier Cru and this is worth trying.
