Simonnet-Febvre Petit Chablis — 200 Years of Chablis Heritage in the Glass

Simonnet-Febvre is one of Chablis' oldest and most respected houses — founded in 1840 and deeply rooted in the traditions of the region. This Petit Chablis is a pure, mineral-driven expression of Chardonnay from the limestone soils that define northern Burgundy. It's a wine that prioritises precision, freshness and authenticity over richness or weight.

Tasting Notes

Green apple, lemon and white pear form the core, lifted by citrus blossom and a distinct chalky, limestone-driven edge. The defining feature is the structure — no oak, no heaviness, just crisp acidity and a clean, linear profile that reflects true Chablis character.

Food Pairing

The chalky mineral precision and crisp citrus freshness of the 2022 Simonnet-Febvre Petit Chablis make it a superb match for Australian Wild-Caught Sea Bream Fillets from My Meat Man — pan-fried with lemon butter and fresh parsley or baked en papillote, the delicate sweet flesh is a magnificent match for the wine's bright acidity and unoaked purity.

Why This Is a Smart Buy

At HK$219, this is authentic Chablis from a historic producer with nearly 200 years of winemaking heritage. True Kimmeridgian mineral character at a price that remains excellent value.
