Grape varietals

The Chablis Premier Cru grape variety is Chardonnay.

Origins

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.

This appellation has 40 climes and areas listed as Premier Cru.

Tasting notes

Colour: pale yellow with green reflects.
Nose: starts to reveal the rich tertiary aromas of the grand Chablis, with mineral aromas of flint chips complemented by subtly buttery and honey notes.
Palate: in the mouth it is straightforward and round with a touch of honey and a spicy finish that evokes ginger.

Food and wine pairing

This wine will be a great companion to finest seafood as langoustines or oysters, all fish either grilled or in a sauce, white meats, poultry, cheese dishes and soft creamy cheeses, especially the local speciality Epoisses.

Serving suggestions

Serve at around 12-14 °C.

Ageing potential

This wine can be consumed now or laid down in a cellar for the next 5 years.
