Joseph Drouhin-Vauon Chablis 2011

Smells: I took it from the fridge and the smells were hard to discern...apple, maybe herby?. When the wine warmed up a bit I smelled barely ripe pineapple.

Tastes: Mmm...not actually a lot on the flavor profile. When cold, a creamy mouth-feel, exuberant acid. When warmer it lost a lot of its structure and just devolved into TART!!!! <---I'm writing this juuuuust after drinking 2/3rds of the bottle. Hah.

Food pairings? Buttery shrimp, crabcakes, light cheeses and crackers.

Buy again? Erm...no. It was good, but not $23 good...too fickle. When cold, there wasn't any vibrant aroma, but it had good structure. When the appropriate temperature (or warmer) the aroma was there but the structure fell apart.
