Tasting Notes
A big and beautiful 1er Cru Chablis, in both aromas and mouthfeel. The wine has very clean and precise fruit throughout the entire experience. Very fresh with volume, delivering layers of flavor. The finish is dominated by high notes of citrus.
Vinification
Each plot is harvested separately, according to maturity. The wine undergoes a light static settling. This keeps enough of the fine lees so that the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations occur naturally. The wine is aged in stainless steel to preserve the wine's freshness and character. It has a cellaring potential of 10 years.
