Chablis is fantastic! but if we’re talking QPR I have to put in a good word for White Bordeaux -especially when blended with Semillion can be excellent and under valued
Eric Azimov says it better that I can though.

Auslese and spätlese wines are not usually syrupy. From a good vintage they can be quite delicious after being aged for 15 years or more.
