100% Chardonnay.
Chablis is near Auxerre in the Yonne département and is one of the southernmost wine growing areas in Burgundy. It has the particular characteristic of only producing white Chardonnay wines. The area is also recognised for its geology; the major base course dates from the Kimmeridgian era.
Within the Chablis vineyards, the best estates can be recognised by the Chablis Grand Cru appellation. It can be followed by the one of the seven following names: Blanchot, Bougros, Les Clos, Grenouilles, Preuses, Valmur and Vaudésir.
The Grand Crus are located on a hillside covering around 100 hectares on the right bank of the Serein River. Only 200,000 bottles are produced a year from all of the seven areas.
Colour: bright yellow with golden tints.
Nose: complex and intense with aromas of ripe fruits and honey, delicately woody, mineral notes.
Palate: in the mouth the wine is rich with fine and elegant woodiness, good length and a finish that returns to mineral notes.
A great companion to all grand dishes such as lobster or grilled turbot. Scallops, crayfish, sashimi, urchins, a creamy cheese and even caviar.
12 to 14°C.
