Chablis 2011 and 2010

By Antonio Galloni

Chablis fans will find a lot to like in both the 2011 and 2010 vintages. The 2011s are generally soft, open wines with lovely fruit, accessible personalities and little of the austerity often associated with young Chablis. The vintage is inconsistent, so choosing carefully will be the key, but the best wines are tasty and will be ready to drink upon release. The 2010s are much stronger across the board, but the finest wines are going to need to come together. It is an exceptional vintage that combines both richness and acidity to a degree Chablis has rarely, if ever, seen before.
