Made exclusively from the Chardonnay grape and grown on Kimmeridgian soils rich in marine fossils, it offers mineral tension, chiseled freshness and notes of citrus, gunflint and oyster shell. This aromatic precision sublimates the fine, delicate flesh of the sea bass, without ever masking it. A Chablis or Chablis Premier Cru is the perfect accompaniment to a baked dish with a simple drizzle of olive oil, fresh herbs or seasonal vegetables, prolonging the sensation of purity and elegance on the palate.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1134\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/chablis\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&gt; Discover our Chablis in stock\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-start=\"1136\" data-end=\"1198\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 data-start=\"1136\" data-end=\"1198\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Loire wines, a sure bet with sea bass and sea bream<\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1385\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Loire white wines are renowned for their liveliness, straightforwardness and mineral expression.
