Chardonnay.
Colour: pale gold, clear and brilliant.
Bouquet: aromas of white flowers mixed with notes of citrus fruit on a mineral (flint, gunflint) and fruity (white-fleshed fruit) background.
Palate: lively, light and well-balanced. This enthusiastic attack is followed by a pleasant roundness. Its richness is matched by its freshness, leaving a lingering sensation on the palate.
Serve with charcuterie, oysters, a vol au vent of lamb sweetbreads, a grilled chicken leg or a piece of Gruyère cheese.
This wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for the next two years.
A communal appellation harvested from the delimited parts of 17 Villages, including the village of Chablis. It covers 3712 hectares, making it the largest AOC in Burgundy. Chablis is characterised by its production of white wines only and by its strong geology, the main bedrock of which is Kimmeridgian. Chablis is planted on the hillsides on either side of the Serein valley, the peaceful river that runs through the Chablis region. Kimmeridgian limestone soil and subsoil / Slightly steep slopes / South-West exposure / Altitude 180 to 260 m.
The Chardonnay grape, also known as ‘Le Beaunois’ in the Chablis region, is the source of this lovely wine.
Once in the winery, the grapes undergo a long pneumatic pressing before static settling and alcoholic fermentation with selected yeasts in stainless steel vats under temperature control at 18 to 20°C to preserve as much fruit as possible. Malolactic fermentation begins soon after the end of the alcoholic fermentation and is 100% complete in January. Aged on fine lees for 6 to 8 months, with regular stirring of the lees to bring the lees back into suspension and give the wine body and structure.
The 2025 campaign in Burgundy was marked by a water deficit of approximately 30% and an early harvest, which began as early as August 25th in the Côte de Beaune.
Despite more unsettled weather at the start of the picking season, the sanitary state of the grapes is excellent, and they show a beautiful aromatic concentration.
The reds are characterized by gentle extractions and deep color, while the whites combine richness, concentration, and freshness.
A vintage of character and elegance is emerging for both red and white wines.
