Vintage : 2017

Characteristics 

Grape variety : Chardonnay

Terroir :  Kimmeridgien
(limestone made up of a conglomerate of Exogyra virgula oyster fossils)

Aspect: For the most part, South, South-West facing slopes

Special features : This wine was vinified and aged in 3 and 4 year-old oak barrels.

Tasting notes :

Visual : Intense gold robe.

Nose : On the first nose, a toasted note gently reveals the oak-aged character of this wine. With aeration, the fruit character of the wine comes out, with aromas of yellow fruit, peach and apricot.

Palate : Lovely freshness. The oak-ageing delivers well-defined aromas, especially hazelnut notes. The finish is long, with a hint of woodiness at the end.

Practical guidelines :

Food/wine matches : This wine will marry most elegantly with breast of fattened duck. Why not try it with foie gras?

Present and future : The subtle, well-integrated woodiness of this Chablis makes for a very pleasant wine which will keep for 6 to 8 years.
