The vineyards of Chablis are located in northern Burgundy’s Yonne department.
The vines are planted on extremely steep southeast-facing slopes where the Kimmeridgian calcareous clay soil contains bluish clay formations.
After the grapes are pressed and the juices settled, the musts are fermented in oak barrels that are 3 to 5 years old in order to preserve the minerality and finesse that is characteristic of this terroir.
The wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, followed by a final 2 months of ageing in stainless steel tanks (100%) on fine lees.
The nose features a bouquet with a dominant white flower profile (lily, rose).
Full-bodied and generous on the palate boasting remarkable harmony and an extremely mineral finish with a hint of salinity and smoke (flint, pencil lead).
The mineral purity of this wine makes it a fine match for seafood, fine cuts of grilled or stewed white meats. It also pairs very well with fresh cheeses.
Serve between 11 and 13°C.
This Grand Cru may be enjoyed while young or cellared for up to a dozen years to allow it to develop notes of honey and wild field mushroom.
