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

Pale gold colour, limpid and brilliant wine. A gentle touch of very elegant oakiness in the bouquet,still undeveloped however. One can assume a wine that needs time to mature and express itself. The first impression is of a very good structure with a lot of substance waiting to be experienced. The finish has yet to make itself known but there is a light touch of lime-tree blossom.
