Wines Chablis B - Domaine D'Anthony - 2021

Viniou Reviews

The Domaine D'Anthony Cuvée, 2021 from the Chablis appellation, is a unique find considering it is unexpectedly marked as red, given the region's fame for white wines, especially Chardonnay. However, the blend's uniqueness adds intrigue. Originating from the beautiful Burgundy, specifically the Chablis region, known for its kimmeridgian limestone which imparts rich minerality to wines. Burgundy's cool climate ensures elegance in the wines produced. Although the "Castle B" has an unspecified classification, the area is renowned for its historical vines dating back to Roman times, and the domain's reputation often speaks of meticulous viticulture practice.

For pairing, opt for dishes that complement the red's possible earthy and fruity profile, such as roasted duck or a mushroom risotto. Burgundy cuisine would enhance the experience – think Boeuf Bourguignon, which aligns splendidly with the wine's character, creating a regional authenticity.

When tasting, serve the wine slightly chilled at around 15°C. Decanting for about 30 minutes will allow any potential complexities to emerge. Begin by appreciating its potential colour variation against a white background before moving on to take in its aroma, which might reveal red fruit or subtle earthy notes. Finally, a sip, allowing the wine to coat the mouth, will unveil its true character, balance, and finish.
