- A classic Chablis with aromatic notes of ripe citrus fruit and elegant mineral overtones. Fully flavored with a characteristic saline note through to a cleansing finish.
The grapes were immediately pressed to avoid any oxidation of the juice. Traditional vinification techniques were used. The juice was clarified by static sedimentation which lasted from 12 to 24 hours at 14 and 18°C. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at between 20 to 22°C, to preserve the purity of fruit and characteristics of the terroir. The wine underwent malolactic conversion in order to achieve the perfect balance between fruit and a rounded texture.

Winery | The Chardonnay grapes come from the old estate vines, the 'Vielles Vignes', which are planted in Kimmeridgian soils. The composition of pebbles, limestone, and clay date from the Jurassic period and are said to impart the characteristic mineral notes that are renowned in Chablis, along with elegance and finesse. This famous Kimmeridgian soil, together with the influence of the nearby River Serein and the general Chablis microclimate results in a long ripening period which allows the fruit to gain ripeness while building natural acidity, resulting in beautifully balanced wines. |
