Product notes
This Chablis comes from a middle and upper Kimmeridgian terroir, with alternating limestone and marl soils with Exogyra virgula, which brings freshness, minerality, finesse and complexity. The vineyard benefits from various exposures and extends over several communes.
Production notes
Cold settling before fermentation. Both yeast and malolactic fermentations in stainless steel tanks and barrels. Maturings approximately 12 months on fine lees, in tanks and barrels.
Tasting notes
White gold in colour, brilliant and limpid. At first delightfully elegant and concentrated on the nose with buttery and vanilla notes from the oak cask, then after aeration, more fruity notes appear (white fruits, peach). Nice attack on the palate with freshness, a very fruity ensemble (ripe fruit), very juicy, with aromas of brioche and vanilla. Nice tension on the finish with a slight salinity giving fine length. Food pairings: Plancha St Jacques scallops, Cheese platters (goat cheese, truffled brie, Beaufort etc.)
