Plots 25 years old on the left bank of the Serein, commune of Chablis. South-east exposure.
Cold static settling before starting fermentation. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in vats and barrels. Aging for approximately 12 months on fine lees, in vats and barrels.
Pale yellow color, clear and brilliant. Delicate floral notes (lily, lilac) as well as vanilla notes appear after a few seconds. The mouth is full, rich. A nice fruity flavor with a very juicy side. Lemon and zest notes appear in retro olfaction and bring energy, freshness and a beautiful aromatic persistence. Pairings with white fish and sushi

See detailed press reviewAn airy nose freely offers up notes of pepper and white flowers along with plenty of pear, apple and quinine hints. There is fine richness to the very round middle weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the saline, focused and mildly austere finale. This is not especially complex, but it is indisputably Chablis-like and is a wine that may well develop more depth in time.
