Description:
The “Chablis” appellation is the most extensive of the whole Chablis area. Growing in the renowned Kimmeridgian soil on slopes along both sides of the River Serein, the “Chablis” vineyards give wines that are the indisputable representatives of the real Chablis style. The terroir here brings freshness, a mineral edge, finesse and complexity. Depending on the vinification, the wine can be drunk young, one to three years old, when it has a refreshing quality; or between three and eight years for wines coming from old vines, when they will possess much more complexity, with a mineral touch and richness of aromas.Brilliant wine with pale colouring,
Floral bouquet full of white flowers and feminine
elegance, evolving towards minerality on aeration.
The first taste surprises due to the generosity and appeal,
but these traits are typical of the 2012 vintage.
Then the true nature of the Côte de Léchet terroir quickly
reaffirms itself to reveal a frank, chalky minerality.
This well-balanced wine exhibits great freshness, leaving
flavours of mentholated leafiness in the mouth. It needs
only to reveal itself in the coming years
