ORIGIN

Chablis, situated near Auxerre in the Yonne department, is among the northernmost vineyards of Burgundy. It is characterized by producing exclusively white Chardonnay wines and by its geology which is believed to date back to the Kimmeridgian period.

The Petit Chablis are implanted on both sides of the Valley of Serein, at the top of the hill or the start of the plateau. The vines are cultivated on middle and upper Kimmeridgian soil and sub-soil. Brown and hard limestone terrain, sometimes loamy and sandy, at an altitude of 230 m to 280 m.

VINIFICATION AND MATURING

Grapes were pressed immediately after the picking, the juice was settled, the fermentation started with the addition of selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures (18°C) to preserve as much fruit as possible.

In order to get a suppler wine, we let the malolactic fermentation begin 10 days after the alcoholic fermentation; it ended in the end of November. The wine is then aged on partial lees for 4 to 5 months.
