- A classic Chablis with aromatic notes of ripe citrus fruit and elegant mineral overtones. It is fully flavoured with a characteristic saline note through to a cleansing finish. 2021 was a very challenging vintage across the Chablis region. A significant frost hit during April, which dramatically affected the yields. High rainfall throughout summer required vigilance in the vineyard to ensure disease did not take hold. However, the remaining fruit reached good maturity, and the 2021 wines offer a clean and classic style with fresh fruit flavours and characteristic minerality.
The grapes were immediately pressed to avoid any oxidation of the juice. Traditional vinification techniques were used. The juice was clarified by static sedimentation, lasting 12 to 24 hours at 14 and 18°C. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at between 20 to 22°C to preserve the fruit's purity and the terroir's characteristics. The wine underwent malolactic conversion to balance fruit and a rounded texture perfectly.

| Winery | The Chardonnay grapes come from the 'Vielles Vignes' old estate vines, planted in Kimmeridgian soils. The composition of pebbles, limestone, and clay dates from the Jurassic period and imparts the characteristic mineral notes renowned in Chablis, along with elegance and finesse. This famous Kimmeridgian soil, with the influence of the nearby River Serein and the general Chablis microclimate, results in a long ripening period, allowing the fruit to gain ripeness while building natural acidity, resulting in beautifully balanced wines. |
