I've been hopeful when I see Chablis on a bottle many times but it's just consistently failed to impress in recent years and the variation in quality makes it difficult to lock in on typicity.
Most recently had Chablis that was downright grassy like Sauv Blanc and just... bland. I feel like the gap between GC Chablis and Village Chablis is the greatest compared to almost all other hierarchical appellations. To the extent that now, if I have Chablis I'll just pass on it if it's not GC or at least 1er Cru (which also has wide variation).
The region is getting hotter right? How much do you think the label is selling versus actual quality typicity? Is it just me? Basically I'm just trying to get over my disappointment when I hear people expressing their love of Chablis... only GC is worth caring about (?)
