Chablis
Location
The vines located in the Chablis appellation are situated on a Kimmeridgian subsoil and benefit from an ideal exposure, providing conditions conducive to the production of a great wine.
Terroir
The appellation extends on both sides of the Serein River, on a soil composed of Kimmeridgian marl and clayey limestone. The subsoils are rich in minerals and fossilized oysters, giving the distinctive mineral character to Chablis wines.
Winemaking
Application of the principle of gravity to avoid any pumping, which could alter the quality of the wine. Short pneumatic pressing (1.5 to 2 hours) for a gentle separation between the solid and liquid parts of the grapes. Very light static racking to retain enough fine lees for the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations to occur naturally. Aging for 10 to 12 months in small stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness.
Tasting
Fresh and elegant bouquet opening with notes of citrus, white-fleshed fruits, and flowers.
The palate is both fresh and supple, supported by a beautiful minerality.
