Vinification Methods: We start harvesting the Chablis parcels located in Chablis, the parcels in Beines need a few more days to reach optimum ripeness before picking.
Once the juices are in stainless steel tanks, they first go through 100% alcoholic fermentation activated with natural yeasts for 15-18 days at low temperature (18°C) then through 100% malolactic fermenta- tion thanks to natural bacteria at 20°C for a few months.
Aging Methods: After a racking manipulation to take out the gross lees, the wine ages in tank on fine lees for at least 4 months while we practice a pumping over every week. Then it is fined before a cold filtration and bottling. This last part is done tank by tank, as soon as the bottles are sold, the rest of the wine remaining in tank.
Tasting notes:
This Chablis displays a brilliant golden color, while its nose is floral with a hint of white (apple & pear). Depending on the vintage, its gustatory attack can express mineral & citrus notes, balanced by its roundness & fineness.
