Matured in and tasted from older barrels, the Simmonet-Febvre 2006 Chablis Blanchot smells of honeydew melon, mint, oregano, diverse flowers, and ocean spray. Juicy and lush, with green tea, sweetly aromatic herbs, and melon, this finishes refreshingly with hints of chalk and salt that help to place it as “Chablis.” Louis-Fabrice Latour and oenologue Jean-Charles Thomas presented a 2006 collection that displayed the opulent richness that one would anticipate from such a ripe vintage, and from the Latour house style. Sometimes these wines want a bit for clarity, definition and distinctiveness – occasionally they are rather obviously marked by dairy flavors from their malolactic conversion – but the best of them have much to offer. Since I did not have opportunity to include in my issue 179 report notes on the Chablis bottlings of Simmonet-Febvre – a domaine Latour purchased in 2003 (and which also bottles some lovely sparkling wines) – I have made note of them here.Louis Latour has numerous importers throughout the U.S.
