What to Expect

Chablis is a region of France's Burgundy region responsible for some of the most distinctive expressions of the Chardonnay grape. On the limestone rich soils of the area, Chardonnay produces wines that can be steely, yet rich with orchard fruits and mineral tones. Unlike the typical white Burgundy, most Chablis sees little or no new oak which allows the grape to express itself with a purity that barrel aging can obscure. Often quite reticent in their youth, Chablis may require several years of ageing in order to be able to fully express the depth and richness it keeps in reserve.

Winemakers Notes

88-90 pts - Stephen TanzerThe Chardonnay vines which produce this Chablis are 60 years old. Their roots have found their way to the deepest parts of the Kimmeridgian soil, picking up mineral trace elements, thus adding to the complexity and character of the wine. Its richness and fruitiness reflects the mineral, chalky soil. 2006 vintage : Very pale colour with green highlights. On nose, fruity and mineral aromas. Beautiful attack on the palate. Fruity and mineral. Pleasant and ample middle of palate. Finish of a beautiful length.
