Tasting Notes:
This vineyard is located in the very heart of the Chablis country, on the left bank of the Serein River and it benefits from an excellent south-easterly exposure. The soil is made up of kimmeridgien clay, a soil specific to the Chablis region. It is rich in fossil shells of a small oyster, Exogyra virgula, frequently found in the Chablis soil. The average age of the vines is 50 years and all harvesting is done by hand, carried by small trailers which unload the grapes by vibration to avoid crushing.
“Bright yellow. Very primary aromas of citrus peel and white pepper; still a hint of fermentation aromas. Then richer and riper in the mouth than the village wine, combining a faint exotic note of green tropical fruits with an edge of lemony acidity. Quite firmly structured but with good buffering material for its 4.7 grams per liter of acidity. (89-90)/2010+” Steve Tanzer July/August 2008
