Tasting Notes

This Chablis has a terroir-driven focus. It is welcoming with an evenly textured approach. The wine has notes of lime and minerality from the limestone soils and finishes smoothly.

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.
