J. L. Quinson La Larme d'Or 2022 Chablis, $16.99, 88 points, was a light yellow/gold color clearing towards the glass rim.
The aromas were dominated by a spring stream minerality nuanced with fresh hay notes, a hint of white chocolate, and just light whiffs of lemon zest and Chardonnay specific grape.
This Chablis was typically lean, clean, acidic, and driven by its minerality, but the flavors were a bit thin and short, though one thing was NOT typical, the price; bought at Trader Joe's, it was typically good for the price.
Finished fair on the fading palate, a bit of ginger, and a well-balanced 12.5% alcohol.
Paired fine with Spanakopita.
